We  I am back and agreat deal has happened since my last posting, but lets keep it to the art world.

The workshop in Taunton Somerset went exceedingly well, they were encouraged and I certainly was.

The above watercolor is of a tiny bay near where we stayed on the Rumps Head in Cornwall. During our trip around Cornwall and Devon we visited many small inlets and bays and most resulted in a watercolor. A finished watercolor can take quite a while to produce; the above picture is a good example of this. So I have developed a system of quick watercolor painting, illustrated below, which incidentally is of Heddons Mouth.

The method is ever so simple; splash a lot of watercolor around, with a relaxed attitude to draughtman's skills. Let it half dry and then tighten it up with a pen or pencil; it works. There is another even quicker way which I will show you in a day or so.
