My New Hobby
By marjories

I have recently taken up a new hobby of water colour painting.
I plan to concentrate on botanical paintings but at the moment I am still on a steep learning curb, and coming to understand the various techniques involved. I didn’t realise that there was so many but I will keep practising and hopefully improve.
These are the first ones I have painted – Delpiniums
and Poppies.

Thank you all for your kind comments. At the moment I don't seem to have much time to paint. The garden seems to have taken over my life! I don't mind because I love my garden & the back ache it gives me. It's all worth while.
Happy gardening to you all

Super Marjorie! Lovely paintings. I've thought about doing art groups in the past, but stories I've heard from them (competitiveness, unhelpful criticism etc) have put me right off. I prefer to just guddle along by myself and look at as many works by other people that I can.

Very good,
I go to a local art group and find it very enjoyable......its not a class we each do our own thing and benefit from the enthusiasm and knowledge of tne group leader and each other
