WATER COLOUR LEARNING LOG - ONE A WEEK WATER COLOUR PAINTING CHALLENGE 2018

Image
For motivation, I decided on this challenge - one water-colour painting to be completed at the end of each week for 2018. - Apart from the abstracts,  these scenes are painted using my own photographs - so they are my interpretation of the world from my own particular perspective. Some of them will need more work when the challenge has been completed as I am learning from the exercise and have no knowledge or experience of water-colour painting. all are A4 size on paper unless otherwise stated and all are for sale. One and only water colour painting - a gift to a friend: Seamus at work (gifted to a friend in 2016) All of the following are A4 and for sale unframed but mounted as shown below. (Some of the recent paintings are A5 size. So here we go: 7TH JANUARY 2018 HAG'S HEAD, CLIFFS OF MOHER, CO. CLARE (€75) 14TH JANUARY 2018 FAMINE COTTAGE, KNOCKFEIRNA, CO.
