Welcome to new members Traci and Peggy, both from the U.S. Be sure to see Peggy Bishop Watercolor on youtube. She is a wonderful painter and teacher. And Im hoping she will give us some lessons and demos.

A friend has asked me for a painting of her and her neighbors houses so I thought I,d show you how I,d go about it. If you like you can go through the process with me. If you do feel free to share your progress and results on here. I,ll post the photo soon. 😊 This is the pic she sent me just to show you, but I,ll be taking my own also as id like to show it from further away so we would get context but it might be a couple of days before I can go. So Ive just done a quick sketch for my own benifit just to simplify the scene and create some activity to add interest. I,ll create my own composition and just use the photo as a jumping off point. But I would like it to be at least a bit recognizable, so would my friend lol.
