I re-did the lampost painting because I wasn't satisfied with the first effort.

Sharon Elton @sharonelton (30756) • Lichfield, England 31 Oct 24

Here is the finished painting now that I've re-done it. It's supposed to be impressionistic. I managed to finish it today. So I started by mixing the sky colour, trying to get it more like the colour on the reference photo, and...

Finished watercolour paintings - Part One.

Sharon Elton @sharonelton (30756) • Lichfield, England 3 Oct 24

Above is the first of my finished watercolour paintings. I'd already done most of it last week, but today I finished it. I don't really think the sky is dark enough. The sky in my reference picture was darker than this. This...

No art class today. (4/7/2024)

Sharon Elton @sharonelton (30756) • Lichfield, England 4 Jul 24

There was no art class today because in the UK it was polling day and they were using the hall as a polling station. I phoned up the taxi on Monday to cancel today's taxi, and I added a new date on the end (1st August) to make up...

I'm painting a kitty cat at the moment

Sharon Elton @sharonelton (30756) • Lichfield, England 19 Oct 23

I'm painting a kitty cat at the moment in watercolour. Well, as you can see from the picture, I've done the background and the eyes so far. To my eyes the background doesn't look very good. It's not surprising, I'm not very...
