snippets of work in progress
Nearing completion with this painting and am underway with the next large one. I can only show little bits for now. The beauty of working on full sheet watercolour boards for these (as I now do) is that they are already stretched and on a board so can have several on the go at once with ease, less clutter and much less swearing. For someone who hates stretching paper (as I do) and has a small studio this is wonderful. Should have gone over to them years ago. Hoping to squeeze in a mini this week if I get time. Or at least start one. Missing tiny!
p.s. the wasps are gone...

You sure are good at getting a lot of detail in your paintings. I haven't used watercolor board, but I do use watercolor blocks which eliminate the need for stretching.
The detail in all these paintings are so exquisite and dedicated! Amazing!
Thanks Michelle. They don't make the blocks large enough which is what led me to try the boards. Laziness being the mother of invention in my case:)
Hi Marie, thank you!
Tracy, lovely, you are so patient with all that produce!
Glad to hear the wasps are gone.
Dear Tracy,
Oh, lovely!! Always your work is heart warming and charming. Me, too, love making snap shots of a daily life. Thank you for the info on boards. I will check them at an art supply.
Kind regards,
Sadami
Hi Tracy
lovely details and colors. What brand of boards do you use?
Thanks Mona and Sadami. Hi Lene, for these I use Saunders Waterford hot pressed watercolour board.
Love it!!!!!
Lovely paintings!
I like the sound of watercolour board but it only seems to be available in very large sheets, how are you cutting it?
Hi Debra. I use the full sheets mostly, but do cut it down for miniatures - it cuts with a craft /stanley knife easily (much like cutting mountboard). Or you could use watercolour blocks which are only available in smaller sizes.
