View of the 2013 WNAA Small works exhibition in the Shakespeare Barn, King’s Lynn Arts Centre<\/figcaption><\/figure>The West Norfolk Artists Small Works exhibition has drawn to a close and what an impressive show it was. The format of placing each image on a square coloured background really unifies the display of artwork and add a dramatic edge to what would otherwise be just another display of small pictures. You can see a little of the exhibition in my photograph here.<\/p>\n

Both my own two works were “rainbow” themed, using the techniques that I outlined in my previous post. I enjoyed using the Rowney FW inks and I will certainly be employing them again in future paintings.

After the Rain – Burnham Overy Staithe. Watercolour & Ink, 11ins. x 11ins.<\/figcaption><\/figure>In addition to the inks I used a very limited palette of colours for this work, essentially it’s a monochrome in a bluey-grey made from Phthalo Blue GS, Burnt Sienna and Quinacridone Red. The inks provide the splash of colour which hopefully brings the painting to life. I was pleased to see that quite a few visitors to the show voted for this painting as their favourite, which was really encouraging.<\/p>\n

However, that’s enough rainbows just for the moment and I’m back in the studio working in traditional watercolour. I’ll post some images of new works here soon!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
