Today was all about getting textures in watercolour.  Once you have a bit of gum arabic and some granulating medium, you are well away!  Apart that is from a bit of skill in judging how wet your paper is, how wet your brush, how much pigment on the brush, the angle of your paper ... and your brush ... and how quickly you work.  Except that gum arabic is supposed to slow the processes down and help you to relax!  Er ... yes.

We've come to expect a bit of drama from Richard and he didn't disappoint today.  With the theme of travel, Beth and Emily were striking in their bright red stewardess's uniforms.  The three of them had obviously gone to a lot of trouble, considering every detail in preparing both the presentation of the models and the still life arrangement.  If only we had had much more time to work on them (say, a week in my case!)  

Many thanks to all.  Also thanks to Hannah, who kindly rescued me by taking the photos when my smart phone proved not to be so smart after all.

It's our Chairman's Project next week, so don't forget to bring along all your pictures on the subject of "Inheritance".
