Personal Painting critique.

Ullswater Daffodils painted in Watercolours

I love seeing the Daffodils on the shores of Ullswater, I think this year they will be early and probably out in a week or so. They help to bring light, warmth and depth to this pretty scene.

This scene is one of the projects in the second  watercolour online course. The second course leads on naturally from the first, but for those with a little experience in watercolours this course will be ideal. With step by step photographs and instructions covering many techniques colour mixing and the all important personal feedback.

This I feel is the part of the course which is unique. With all of the six projects you get personal feedback and critique to help with techniques, colour mixing or any general questions you have about watercolour painting. 

If you've got a little stale with painting and need a push in the right direction, now that Spring is just round the corner, the online second course could be just what you need.

How to paint Ullswater Daffodils

 

Wordsworth Daffodil poem is 200 years old today, so had to go and see these little beauties on the shores of Ullswater. I love painting this scene and feel it's the start of Spring, even with gale force winds and fresh snow on the tops forecast. I managed a quick sketch of the distant fells and came back to work in the warmth of my studio!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 A limited palette of colours, was used to paint  Ullswater Daffodils in watercolours, a loose wet in wet approach in the distance and warmth hues with more detail in the foreground trees.

 Bright Primary Yellows are used for the Daffodils and Winsor Blue helps give strength and tonal values to the grasses and leaves.

 

 Ullswater Daffodils is the first project painting on my 2nd Online course and it's a wonderful colourful tour around other Lakeland scenes for the six projects 'Tarn Hows and Buttermere in Winter, a walk onto the fells above Windermere in Autumn, down on the shores of Derwentwater and a walk through a Bluebell wood at Grasmere.

Paint the View, Lake District.

 

Jaws of Borrowdale painted in watercolours

 

The Lake District,  I think one of the most beautiful places to paint. Imagine sitting on the shores of Derwentwater  and painting in watercolours the fells of Borrowdale. The views are quite special, listening to the wild life and watching the scene change in front of you. Rays of light sparkling on the lake.  

 

We will wander along the shoreline stopping to capture the wonderful scenes of this stunning Lake. This day is ideal for beginners who have never painted outdoors. To gain confidence to do so or for those who would like to learn a few new watercolour techniques and landscape painting ideas.

 

One day painting days in the Lakes  for Beginners or Intermediates.

Private tuition  or small groups.

Prices from £75.00 per day.
