I had a lovely time, learning how to sketch and paint a complicated tree in watercolour. The tutor had great tips along the way, and I left feeling more confident incorporating more difficult subjects into my landscapes.

Title or Location: watercolour at Omaha Beach
This was a day of the beginning of a new life, with my new wee camper (A converted Vellfire), and my newly adopted dog. It was pouring with rain, so we went for a walk at Omaha Beach where I took some drizzly photos with my phone. Back at the camper van, with a large, hot takeaway cuppacino and treats for my dog, we had a picnic in the van, and I painted this with my watercolours. I partly copied it from the photo without my glasses on, so that I could capture the drizzlyness of the day. I

Title or Location: The photo which is referenced in this watercolor was taken at Aoraki/ Mt Cook National Park by Kavan Chay which made the cut for the 2024 Milky Way Photographer of the Year international competition.
I have always loved watching the milky way, its the brightest out at sea. I have never been able to capture it with a camera. I had this idea in my head about painting a red house on a lonely hill with the milky way above it showing how small we are compared to the universe. Then I came across this shot taken out at Aoraki/ Mt Cook National Park by Kavan Chay and it was like the universe had heard me and given me a reference photo. the watercolor looks nothing like the original photo but I love

Title or Location: Southshore Beach Christchurch
My friend asked me to paint something special for her to hang in her newly built home. She chose a photo of the beach she grew up on. It means a lot to her as she is really missing friends and family since she moved away.

I always take photos of subjects to inspire me to paint everytime I do my early morning walk in our place. Then, I had to find time to translate into painting.

Title or Location: Gorlston Upon Sea, England
The original was taken by my friend just as a storm came in while she stood on the beach at Gorlston Upon Sea. She loved the mood of the last light on the sand before the dark clouds blotted them out. And I was drawn to that too.

Title or Location: Blackburne Place
My name is Bryn Williams and I returned to painting last year after a 40 year hiatus. Blackburne Place:The painting is of a building in Liverpool just off Hope St where my wife and I parked for a concert in December at the Phil.I have no idea of its' present function - possibly originally something to do with the old school next door? - It caught my eye because I liked the shape it made in the night sky. The various lighting sources looked like an interesting challenge too. I've also

Title or Location: The photo is of my watercolor taken at my home.
This painting is a spontaneous watercolor of my impression of where I live. I painted it from a rough sketch I had drawn in one of my sketchbooks. I started with out any pencil marks on the watercolor paper so that it would be loosely painted.
