What Is It ? Second image and Clue!

What is it ? Clue 2.

This surely is easier now to guess what it may be?

Or maybe not!

I have been in fits laughing at some of the suggestions that have flown my way since I posted an image earlier today on my blog and asked you to guess what it was.

This is not a Christmas pudding,or start of a painting of a mince pie or Christmas cake but there must be some very hungry readers of my posts as most of the suggestions have been related to food!

First stage and clue.

Gill Fox however was very quick as she guessed immediately what it could be,way to go Gill!

I will add the finished painting and a photograph of what this really is on my blog tomorrow,

It is a fun painting and has raised quite a few smiles today!

The Artist Magazine : Book Review

Jean Haines' Atmospheric Watercolours

"The book is nothing less than a paean to the wet in wet technique. If that's your thing, prepare to be amazed. Jean Haines credits Jean Louis Morelle, and in many ways this book is the sequel to Morelle's remarkable, but very technical work, showing the wealth of creative possibilities the technique offers. A lot of the images are barely recognisable and yet you instinctively know what they are. I wish I knew how, because this is impressionism taken to its logical conclusion and reminiscent of some of the later work by JMW Turner. You will have to take it from me that "First signs of a face appearing magically from a first wash of watercolour" is pure alchemy. This is an extraordinary book."

"Amazing Ways With Watercolour:" Fastest Selling DVD!

"Amazing Ways With Watercolour" from Town House Films is the fastest selling DVD with the company to date! Record breaking pre-orders for this much awaited film saw requests for copies flooding in from all over the world. A wonderful introduction into working with watercolour minus the use of a preliminary sketch this DVD removes the fear, stress or pressure from worry about how to use watercolour. Instead the focus is on having fun, enjoying vibrant colour combinations and allowing the medium to create the subjects with just a little help from the artist. A really exciting new DVD to own. Whilst the DVD sold out in the first few months since its' release due to popularity it is now in stock and available directly from Town House Films.
