Time to start the watercolour section of my course. I seem to have “watercolour anxiety” 😬 but watched the tutorial carefully and painted this little mouse. I really want to be able to stop overthinking the process and relax. Sarah Stokes Artist and Laura Jayne Smith tutorial.

When I first looked at entering a piece of art into the Mount Roland Art Prize, I had no idea what I could do. I had never painted to a theme before. “Fragility”
And then one day I saw a drop of water clinging to the tip of my alocascia plant and it came together. The fragility of life on our planet, the dependence on water by every living being. A very different painting for me.
( And I am so glad someone else loves it as well)

I am spending some time this year exploring and learning from Sarah Stokes, a watercolour and charcoal artist from the UK.
This is some of the work I have done so far. I am finding that I am really comfortable with charcoal art.
