This striking composition hides a joyous amount of detail and colour mixing experience that I hope you'll love.
Join me and add your own coloured flag at the end, then sit back and soak in the calm you have created.
I hope that when you look at this you can hear the Beach Boys music playing and the salty sea breeze in your hair!
Follow me, step by step, as we paint this cool combi, complete with palm trees, a collection of surfboards and a striking shadow.
This is a classic combination... blue and white plates look good with most things though, don't you think?
And the yellow of the lemon with the blue also makes me think of Ukraine, with every stroke of the brush a prayer for peace.
This is a very classy painting, to work through slowly, and the results are so worth it.
Whenever I ask my Members what they'd love to paint, "Dogs" and "Cats" always come high on the list. We painted a cat in "#21 - Hiding in Sight" so here is a gorgeous dog.
I show you how to create an interesting, layered background, and then map out the face and proportions from a photo reference.
I hope this gives you the confidence to try painting your own loved pet!
Many years ago I taught a face-to-face Paint Along with little green birds on branches.
Now that I can teach online, I've stepped the design up a notch, and included three cute-as wrens AND a special segment on drawing the wrens and getting their proportions right!
Of course, it's all step-by-step.
I hope this painting is a joy!
There's something special about sunsets and sunrises - that's why so many of us photograph them!
But I'm not a huge fan of paintings of sunsets where the foreground is a flat black silhouette of trees and things.
So this painting has more. The amazing sky, united with a sizzling, bright, colourful scene.
I hope it gives you the confidence to see landscapes in uber-full colour!
This painting starts with wild and loose colours which we then tame, just a little, to create this lovely floral painting.
Paint with me and I'll show you how to start loose, create depth and movement, and then finish a painting you'll be so proud of.
I think it's the glow from behind the fur that makes this painting a stand out.
Paint along with me as we create glowing fur and captivating eyes, learning new techniques and ideas as we go.
There's so much to like about this painting - the bottle, the whale, the underwater corals - and so much to learn - glazing, chalk stenciling and details!
It's a super cute whale in a super cute bottle. And it's very possible you might have to paint more than one. Just saying.
These vibrant dahlias are BEGGING to be painted! But how do you approach a multi-petalled flower like this without being overwhelmed?
In this Paint Along I will share my 'recipe' for how to approach a subject like this, and show you exactly how to stay loose and do it!
Many years ago I painted a LOT of mermaids. What can I say? I love painting that flowy hair.
I hope this particular mermaid starts you thinking... and perhaps wanting to create a mermaid character of your own.
There's so much to be learned from The Masters. And Elephants, for that matter! (Did you know elephants can distinguish between languages???)
I've always loved Gustave Klimt's penchant for patterns. And colour. So combining the two seemed like a lovely thing to do.
