Feeling Peachy

I have not been good at blogging this summer, a combination of being away a lot and not having done much to write about! However, I have finally finished the giant peach. I have also been looking into doing my own framing which obviously works out cheaper than having it done at a framing shop.  I was worried it wouldn't look as professional but I think this looks pretty good! I used www.pictureframes.com and so far the frames I've bought have worked out really well. I've started a collection of their samples so my studio is beginning to look like a framing shop already! They come fully assembled so all I've had to do is attach the art work. This one is a really lovely walnut.

Watercolour

I had forgotten how fun watercolours are! I haven't got them out for absolutely ages instead always favouring acrylic. I finally dug them out and dusted them off today as I had some quick sketches to do as preliminaries to a couple of new projects. The paper has gone all bumpy as I was doing these in my regular sketch book - better go and buy some proper watercolour paper (any excuse to go to the art shop!)
