Week 11 - Montana painting 99% done

This week I made the final touches to the snow banks at the waters edge...and then using a wet-in-wet technique painted the water and reflections. I think this painting it is 99% complete?

The few changes I think I have to make are:

• Add in a few more highlights in the water(it is hard to get true whites using wet-in-wet blending)
• Make a few minor changes in the trees

But I certainly don't want to over--work it.
Overall I am extremely pleased! If you have any comments for me, please send them along!
I hope to get back to doing some pottery in week 12 - I have loads of things to glaze.

Week 4 - That's a nice watercolour you have there...

Excited!
The watercolour I did this week for the Montana painting went really well - I am so pleased with it!
I have to start oil painting now!





And another productive day at the pottery studio - my 2nd set of braid tiles that I showed in week 2 are out from their first firing. That black slip looks interesting!



And finally - 2 cylindrical pots that I made for me - bigger one is to hold kitchen utensils, the smaller one is for the nail brush and sponge! These need some coloured slip on them - but they have to dry out a bit first. I will have to do that next week.

Thanks for looking!
