Hamilton Road Studio - Art Classes. About me - links and more. Wednesday, 7 March 2018. At the beginning of the year I joined the RQAS - Royal Queensland Art Society, and resolved to exhibit more work during the year. The first exhibition was entitled Abstract. My entry was Bark Layers. A painting done on birch panel with oil and cold wax. The next exhibition for members is Chiaroscuro.

Thursday, August 13, 2015. I posted this pic to Beemaster and was advised that the abundance of queen cells was a good opportunity to try making laying nucs - tiny hives to raise queens and brood for sale or for backup. So, I split the hive into 6, with a frame of honey and a frame or so of brood with a queen cell or more in each nuc. Saturday, August 8, 2015.

SKETCHING in WATERCOLOUR PLEIN AIR. Please phone 206-223-9599 to register.

Over Open Studios weekends last month, my sketchbooks and watercolour journal got as much attention as my paintings. I found myself discussing the method I use to get to know watercolour pigments. I use a system I picked up from the blog of the fabulous Jane Blundell. She is well worth following if you want to get a better understanding of watercolour palettes. A flip through my Watercolour Journal. This entry was posted in Notebooks.
