Watercolour painting of Greenway House, the holida Watercolour painting of Greenway House, the holiday home of Agatha Christie located in Devon by the River Dart. 🏑✨ It's a special place dear to my heart, and a favourite local spot I visit frequently. This piece is part of an assignment for my current art course. 🎨 The task involved combining accurate observation and a touch of imagination. I was particularly drawn to the idea of adding a vintage car on the driveway, evoking the era when Agatha herself might have owned something similar. πŸ’– #ntenglishriviera . . . . . #watercolourpainting #watercolourartist #watercolourpractice #paintingprogress #watercolourhouse #housesketch #vintagecarart #handpainted #housedrawing #watercolouroriginal #watercolourbuilding #architectureart #architectureartist #greenwayhouse #agathachristie #practicepainting #calledtobecreative #andreaswatercolours #georgianhouse #devonart
Here's my attempt at painting the wonderful Pied B Here's my attempt at painting the wonderful Pied Butcherbird, a resident of Australia. 😍πŸͺΆ They sing one of the most beautiful melodies among the avian world, and if you're not familiar with them you can have a listen on YouTube. 🐦😊 There was plenty of layering involved to get the black just right on the breast area. 🎨 Thanks to @louisedemasi πŸ™πŸ»πŸ’– Apologies for my absence of late; I've had a rather busy and hectic week! 😩 . . . . . #watercolourpainting #watercolourartist #watercolourpractice #paintingprogress #watercolouranimals #watercolourbutcherbird #watercolourbirds #butcherbirdpaintings #louisedemasi #butcherbirdart #birdart #watercolouroriginal #handpainted #butcherbird #piedbutcherbird #Inspiredbynature_ #practicepainting #calledtobecreative #andreaswatercolours
Since we're approaching the winter and colder days Since we're approaching the winter and colder days, I wanted to show you this woodpecker I painted a while back. 🐦😊 Had a lot of fun painting this, and I must thank Krzysztof @esperoart for his excellent guidance. He has wonderful classes teaching watercolours on his website. πŸ’« I ran into some slight trouble when applying the wet in wet technique. In hindsight, using cold press watercolour paper instead of the hot press one would have given better results. 🎨 . . . . . . #watercolourpainting #watercolourartist #watercolourpractice #paintingprogress #watercolouranimals #watercolourwoodpecker #watercolourbirds #woodpeckerpaintings #woodpeckerart #birdart #watercolouroriginal #handpainted #woodpecker #greatspottedwoodpecker #Inspiredbynature_ #practicepainting #calledtobecreative #andreaswatercolours
Here's a playful kitty I painted in watercolour. πŸˆπŸ¦‹ This cat was such a joy to paint! I may have gone overboard with the grey tones. 🎨 Used some white ink as well for the whiskers.

Gardenia watercolour painting 🌸 This piece is Gardenia watercolour painting 🌸 This piece is a bit different from my usual style. I experimented to see how the Arches watercolour paper would handle multiple layers of paint.🎨 It held up really well! I believe I could have added even more layers and gone darker in certain areas.πŸ˜ƒ Does anyone have recommendations for other watercolour papers that perform similarly to Arches? πŸ€” πŸ“Έ Reference photo by Denise McQuillan. . . . . . . #watercolourpainting #watercolourartist #watercolourpractice #paintingprogress #watercolourplants #artistsofinstagram #botanicalart #botanicalpainting #handpainted #watercolouroriginal #gardenia #watercolourleaves #watercolourflorals #gardeniaart #gardeniapainting #andreaswatercolours
