It’s  always exciting  when new paint arrives. For years I only bought the primary colours and black and white. I mixed all the colours I needed from them. It was only when I started to paint murals that I found it was easier to have green in particular in a tube or carton rather than mixing up small amounts. And it went from there.

Looking for new paint colours online is like chosing sweeties. There are some colours I’ve  never used, but they were so pretty.

However today’s colours were based on the big landscape I’m painting.

I went to my favourite supermarket  today  which is always a pleasure.

Then I finished the portrait I have been working on this week.  .

After lunch , when the postman delivered the new paints I spent some time on the sky and the hills on the right of the painting, before deciding that I’m  more of a morning person.

However I have been enjoying so much using my new fude pen that I thought I’d draw the figures in the portrait I’ve just finished. 

I’ve been watching videos on how people draw with this pen, but actually using it is best.

Found some sketches from years ago on Facebook.

Wine time now.
