Paint or Draw

This painting was done on an IPad using the Procreate app. I have been painting on an Pad for sometime but have only recently started to use the more advanced Procreate. I’m learning by following tutorials on YouTube. 

I have adapted a painting of Peploe, a Scottish colourist. I like the vibrancy of his work and the relaxed fluid style of the tulips. The tulips are about to burst open in my garden saying spring has arrived.

I love to watch the  ever faithful development of spring from the first Snowdrop onwards. I was delighted to spot my first glimpse of the showy Peacock butterfly so beautifully coloured and patterned, yet so clever in  design as to protect it from preditors. What a beauty queen.

Always glad to see bees returning to the garden in Spring

 A line and wash painting of lambs enjoying a rest in the grass.

I love to see the Helibores bloom in my garden at the end of winter carrying on well into Spring. Seeing how the sun shone onto and seemingly through the petals inspired me to capture this flower. I used watercolours on A4 watercolour paper.

Everyone in our group painted one and they were all fab. 

A pencil drawing. - Lots of babies arrive in Spring, so here's a baby owl with its Mum.

Flower vase- fine art pencil drawing, shaded flowers to represent Spring, nature.

I made blocks of flowers and leaves. I used fabric paint to blockprint with them keeping to spring colours of yellows, purples and greens and then appliqued them to create a small wallhanging.

My acrylic stencil on canvas inspired me to have my first ice-cream over the sunny Easter bank holiday. More to follow hopefully.

My colourful, (gay) cockerel is stepping out into the flowery, spring fields, after long harsh winter. Watercolour and pens.

For me, seeing primroses and cowslips growing along country lanes is a sign that spring is here!

It always rains in spring. Classic spring shower.
