Sometimes the best marks are the random ones that come when I'm just trying little colour combinations. This one appeals not only for its colours but the textures appeal too.⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ #mindfulart #modernart #contemporaryart #artistinspired #experiment ⠀ #markmaking #watercolors #knowyourmaterials #colourcombinations #blueandgreen #watercolourtexture ⠀ https://www.instagram.com/p/BnRYzqZhiGK/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=lax0po6ac9ss

Part of the value I get from quiet Sundays in my studio is the time to just get to really know my materials. This Sunday I had a look at the interaction between two different combinations of #danielsmithwatercolor paints. The constant un the two swatches is one of my all time favourite colours: #shadowviolet. The variables are two other breaking colours: #underseagreen and #cascadegreen. Swipe to see them both. Which combination is your favourite. Number one is Shadow Violet and Undersea Green. Number 2 is Shadow Violet and Cascade Green. Which one if the two speaks to you? . . . . . #colourfest #combinations #beautyineveryday #experimental #explore #knowyourmaterials #colourswatches #colorswatches #textures #contemporaryart #knowledge #paint #studiotime #studiostories #knowledge #artmaterials #beautifuleffects #textures #colorstudies @premiumartbrands @danielsmithartistsmaterials @danielsmithproducts (at Whittlesford)

I'm having a studio day today. Inspiration is coming from watching live streamed demonstrations from the International Masters of Watercolour weekend. It's a great reminder of how watercolour does its own thing. This little demonstration of the way watercolour has a life of its own was done to show @toms_grandma how it works when you let it do its own thing. I dropped a bit of yellow into the wet wash. The magic only appeared a couple of hours later. . . . . . #color #watercolor #celebratecolor #colour #magic #colormagic #knowyourmaterials #knowyourpaint #doitfortheprocess #dragontail #abstractshapes #experiment #art #aplayfulprocess #creativelife #instaart #passagesofpaint #studiotime #watercolorpainting #brushstrokes #demo #painting #artistsstudio #learningbydoing #enjoythelittlethings #joyofcreation #weekendfun (at Whittlesford)

Studio time isn't always spent creating a painting. Sometimes it's valuable to do the artist's equivalent of musical scales. Yesterday evening in the studio I did 5 minute study in light and shade. Here are some little sections I rather like. Swipe right to see more of the image. . . . . . #lightandshade #dailytraining #developyourskills #knowyourmaterials #watercolour #abstract #markmaking #cambscreativetreasures #practicemakesperfect #backtobasics #vandymassey #cambridgeartist #lifeofacreative #studiotime #lifeofanartist (at Whittlesford) https://www.instagram.com/p/BnHbNEHhLpa/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=98smf6dgpy71
