Buttermere a place to inspire the artist.

 What better place to paint than the Beautiful Buttermere Valley in the English Lake District. It certainly has kept me inspired over the years. Captured in Oils, Pastels and Watercolour. I'm often asked which is my favourite medium and been a Gemini, I can never make my mind up, but love them all.

Top Six Watercolor Tutorials

 I've been watching  The Yellowstone Series and the Scenery was amazing, I loved the Warm Yellow Birch Trees, the soft grasses blowing on the prairie with tonal shades of Blue mountains for the backdrop. The Cowboys also added an interesting aspect to the scenery !

Montana was a truly epic place for a film shoot and one I would love to paint. America certainly has some incredible places  to inspire artists. 

With this in mind, I thought I might put together my top six inspiring Watercolor challenges and thought that some American watercolorists might like to take try their skills at.
