As I mentioned I might be getting slightly over prepared….
Today a nice set of Gouache paints arrived, 3 smallish sketchpads, and a pile of hand made paper.
Nice, but not very expensive.Gouache. Nice . Very bright colours. Had a quick practice. Tomorrow I’ll need to try out this. ( handmade paper.)
It was also a TEMU parcel day.
The sunglasses were a” filler” to get to 20 euros and free postage. They are lovely. And the cardigan is perfect. The old sandals are appalling, but still being kind to my toe. Mini camera. Another ” filler” .It does actually work. A useful thing…….once I work out how to use it.There must be a use for these.
In between receiving parcels I went out and said, ” Buon giorno” to lots of people on my way into and back from town.
Passed by the Madonna I painted last week. The main street has now got lots of plants and Christmas trees……and what looks like a holly bush.Outside the fruit and veg shop.There are trees and plants all the way down the street.
Tonight I lit the pellet stove. It’s not really sandal weather yet and my feet are cold.
