January 2018

I’ve been to a couple of workshops on acrylic painting recently. I have lots of tubes of paint but never get around to using it mainly because, unlike watercolour,  it dries so quickly. I experimented with some different ways of using it and so plan to dust off my tubes and have a go at home!

It’s been pretty wet this month so I haven’t gone for many walks. There has been some snow so the hills have looked beautiful, especially when the sun was shining. The hedgerows are pretty bare except for holly and ivy. There are still some berries on the holly that the birds haven’t eaten but there are plenty of flowers on the ivy for birds and insects to eat.  I took some home and painted it. In watercolour, of course!
