SALLY LADBROOKE
I tend to work from natural subjects, in landscape around the Norfolk Suffolk borders. I nearly always paint from life, or at least that is my starting point, and my subjects always have to have something, either colour, shape or composition, that grabs my attention.
I love working in watercolour, for it's subtlety and transparency, and the direction that it can steer a painting in, but I also like to experiment, using it in conjunction with other mediums, gouache, and acrylic inks, and water soluble wax crayons. All behave differently, and add subtle (or bright contrasting ) layers of colour which for me is one of the keys to a successful painting.  
​The works below are in mixed media
The first 9 here are the latest to be added.  Only the last of these (Spring Selection) is not mixed media. The one before (Fish) is a Gelliplate drawn into. Click to enlarge.
