Over the last weekend 7th and 8th June I spent the weekend at a Water Colour Workshop sponsored by DFAQ with artist Cherly Bruce.
It was a fantastic two days and I loved it.
I had never done anything with water colours unless you want to count me abusing my H2O's which I now have a better idea of how to use.
DH (Rick) made my backing boards out of marine ply sanded them and then put three layers of varnish over them so they were the most impressive back boards at the workshop. I have also discovered that cutting mats make great back boards.
I loved doing the washes and am really happy with the way they turned out. I think I will do a little more detail in future works but am happy enough with my first attempt and learning how to prep your paper and mix your washes.
I can't recommend enough workshops, it's a great way to get kick started with anything you want to do.

This is the second painting done during the water colour weekend sponsored by DFAQ with Cheryl Bruce. I didn't enjoy this one as much as the first one but learned heaps of techniques and it has inspired me to combine my card making with water colour. Keep tuned.
