WOYDTW - What's on your Dining Table Wednesday !


Not at my desk this week - but on my dining table in the conservatory where the light is always the best in the house !

Work has been bonkers for the last 3 weeks and having had to work over the weekend there's been precious little time for crafting !

But I did make 2 hours on Saturday to do some of the exercises in my new Watercolour for the Absolute Beginner ! So it was various fruit for me - which are a bit clunky but not as bad as I thought I would be - and a country scene which is very amateurish !! Well we all have to start somewhere ! The big step forward for me is to be actually doing some painting - not cowering timidly too intimidated to pick up a brush !!

Anyway not much else to report - just to wish you a happy week's crafting !

    Love bunch of fruit drawing. I like the countryside picture and don't feel it is amateurish at all. You are right that we all have to start somewhere but you've well down the path to artistic greatness.

    Yep, mine workdesk migrated to the living room for the winter . . . it remains to be seen if there will be a spring migration back to its home. Sweet watercolors!

    I don't see clunky fruit.What I see is impressive - after a long week, the time you cold be slumped in front of the tv and you choose to improve your talents. Marvellous. And I'm also not sure you're starting at the white line of beginning either....i think you have a head start.

    Wow, that fruit is fabulous. I am hopeless at water colour, yours are beautiful. Your onion is really good.

    Loving the banana. Watercolour is so difficult - well done for making the effort to try something new. Ali x # 173
