Imagine if you walked into an abandoned room and the faded old wallpaper turned and looked at you . .

Another digital mashup of watercolour and meadow flowers - swipe to see the whole piece. The flowers were photographed at Sheffield's Manor Lodge, one time prison of Mary Queen of Scots. . . . #abstractwatercolour #abstractwatercolor #digitalmashup #digitalcollage #maryqueenofscots
Swipe slowly ➡ to see the whole image. . . I'm starting to use watercolour in my work again and am learning about the properties of different colours and pigments. This is Phthalo Blue, a really strong, staining colour that's good for underpinning because it doesn't lift off when you paint over it. Here it's digitally combined with a layer of raw umber (just visible) and a photograph of meadow flowers. . . . #phthaloblue #watercolour #watercolor #photoshop_creative #digitalcollage #digitalmashup #multipleexposure #abstractwatercolour #abstractwatercolor #meadowflowers
August always seems a bit like January - like nature is pausing in anticipation of the next season. It feels good to be quiet and still.
Trying out some subtler colours at the moment, and hankering after working in black and white. It's a bit like food - if you've eaten a lot of rich stuff you start craving something clean to cleanse your palate!
