Menorca

When we went to menorca i took loads of photo's , hopefully i'll be able to make a few paintings from my time there.

Brought my new Printer !!!!

So today , I made the decision to take some money out of my savings to buy a new printer!
I chose the Canon IX6550 photo inkjet printer .
It seems brilliant so far , also it's a A3 printer, so i can now choose to print in Big ,

the colours are great, i printed out an Art Print of my work and it came out exact to colour representation to the original. very pleased

I brought inks too , not realising they came with all the inks so i now have Loads of ink tanks .

I printed out a cute photo of the kids from our holiday in menorca too and framed it for the living room . The photo came out brilliantly with glossy photo paper.
the ink is chromalife 100+ meaning it lasts a Lifetime*

Practicing watercolour

This is a zoom in of a recent painting I've done , it's a part of a bicycle wheel , paving and a wall.  I quite like how Watercolour bleeds into the shape you desire , has a kind of freedom about it , like who cares that the bike reflector turned into a orange blob, the joy of art is although people can give critique ,it can't actually be wrong, art can't go wrong if you say that's how it's meant to be. Watercolour allows me to not be obsessive over the edges like with other mediums, it's fun, I'm not all that great at it, but it is a learning curve for me.
