Sneak peeks for what’s coming in August. Can’t Sneak peeks for what’s coming in August. Can’t show either of them yet because they are gifts. Trying to be mindful in these stressful times. #watercolour #watercolor #watercolorpainting #watercolorart #watercolorillustration #watercolorflowers #practicemakesperfect #practicemakesprogress #botanicalillustration #cactus #botanicalart #botanicalartist #botanicalwatercolor #watercolor #watercolour #sciart #watercolorpainting #flowers #flowerart #flowerartwork #flowerartist #watercolourartist #iris #iriswatercolour #irises #iriswatercolor #flowerwatercolor giglio di #firenze #purpleflowers #purpleiris #beardedirises #beardediris
So -today’s watercolour is the equivalent of you So -today’s watercolour is the equivalent of your first crappy pancake before the rest turn out fine. I’ve decided to move on and work on something else and I’ve abandoned this set of #peonies. It’s so far from finished and I may return to it later but first I’m putting the skills of painting gentle peonie petals to use, illustrating something that’s lovely- so watch this space. Although I’m upset this didn’t work out- no work is ever wasted. #watercolour #watercolor #peonies #watercolorpainting #watercolorart #watercolorillustration #watercolorflowers #pinkflowers #annamasonart #glassart #practicemakesperfect #practicemakesprogress
Happy Father’s Day. Made even worse through lock Happy Father’s Day. Made even worse through lockdown. More than ever I realise how lucky I am. I’ve got my dad still here. I can actually go visit him. So. As a food lover I painted this for him. #chillipepper another great from the @annamasonart school #annamasonart #dad #fathersday #fathersdaygifts #happyfathersday #happyfathersday2020 #watercolor #watercolourpainting #botanicalart #botanicalillustration #watercolorillustration #pepper #peppers
Sketchbook excercise. I was given this book for my Sketchbook excercise. I was given this book for my birthday and it’s the first thing I have painted in months since lockdown. A lot of fun. I’ve always wanted to paint water so I was very pleased with the outcome. Another @annamasonart tutorial. #sketchbook #watercolor #watercolorpainting #watercolour #watercolours #botanicalart #botanicalillustration #waterillustration #watercolorpractice #vase #water #annamasonart #plantstem

In memoriam. I’ll be posting this every year as In memoriam. I’ll be posting this every year as long as I remember. Gone but not forgotten; John. My father in laws favourite was the humble walnut. We had them pickled every Xmas. Never ate one but there they were on the table on Christmas Eve. I gave him this painting the Christmas before he died after I had completed it on the @annnamason art course. . #rip #walnut #watercolour #botanicalart #botanicalwatercolor #watercolours #watercolors #annamasonart #nut #watercolornut #watercolorpainting #watercolorpaintings #walnuts

Final dishevelled tulip. It’s gorgeous and repre Final dishevelled tulip. It’s gorgeous and represents weeks of homeschooling. On and off. 10 minute bursts of schoolwork allowing me time to shade- so a bit of a love hate relationship. #tulip #botanicalart #flower #pencildrawing #pencilsketch #pencilart #botanicalillustration #botanicalartworldwide #botanic #botanical #botanicaldrawing #tulips #tulipdrawing #pencilsketches #pencildrawing #graphitedrawing #graphitesketch #lockdowndrawing #sketchbook #sketch #sketchoftheday #sketchers
Tulip in pencil. Layer 2. Tough week and am strugg Tulip in pencil. Layer 2. Tough week and am struggling with the early mornings. Am pleasantly surprised this doesn’t look worse. Maybe tiredness allows me to work slower, not rush and pay attention to detail. #tulip #sketchbook #pencildrawing #pencilsketch #botanicalart #botanicaldrawing #botanicaldrawings #flowerdrawings #sketch #sketching #lockdown #homeschool #shading #shadingdrawing #homeschooling #homeschoollife
Tulip in pencil. Layer 1. This has taken me all we Tulip in pencil. Layer 1. This has taken me all week during homeschool. I get numerous 10 minute bursts when my 6 year old is working at something during the school day. I can’t work during that time, but I can shade. #tulip #sketchbook #pencildrawing #pencilsketch #botanicalart #botanicaldrawing #botanicaldrawings #flowerdrawings #sketch #sketching #lockdown #homeschool #homeschooling #homeschoollife
Tulips, personally I find a bit meh, unless they’re en masse, but I’ve always loved the texture of their petals. This lone gorgeous specimen shows that off in the morning sun after a really chilly night. It’s like a rich satin material. #tulips #urbanphotography #urbangarden #urbangardening #botanicalphotography #petals #petal #redflowers #redpetals #tulipseason

Have you ever seen a truly snaily snail? Usually t Have you ever seen a truly snaily snail? Usually these pests are dispatched of quickly in my garden- but this magnificent beast was allowed a free pass. I’ve never thought I’d say a snail was gorgeous- but he was. So I thought I’d share. Lockdown is making me a bit nuts I think. #snail #snails #naturephotography #nature #londongardens #garden #shell #slowliving #lockdown #urbangarden #urbangardening #mollusca
