Some exquisite watercolour work from my artist friend, Janet Weight-Reed.
On Monday evening I gave a demonstration which was all about the spontaneity of watercolour painting at The Hurlingham Club, London.
I laid out four large sheets of watercolour paper – two of which I had prepared with a cadmium orange ground.
The demonstration was completed within twenty minutes…..
I used flowers as my jumping off point….allowing the brush to dance across the paper.
When working off the ground, I added some gouache to the mix…..
A magical hummingbird for the weekend…..

It makes me feel good inside to see such talent. This style of painting is a real gift, and needs that ‘magic eye’ for colours and shapes that I sadly lack.
Best wishes, Pete. x
