Not a lot to show this wednesday. Just my paint set up which includes the Arches watercolour block resting on my easel, paints in a tin box, water and a fresh roll of paper towel.
Anna Mason uses Winsor & Newton w/c paints but I stayed with Daniel Smith watercolour paints. I can pretty much match the colours used by Anna Mason except for Holbein "Bright Violet" I was using a mix and eventually did a google search and bought the paint online. What a surprise to find it was very different to what I had mixed up. Generally only buying paints when I am running out. Still using a $2 kids paint pan which came up a treat after a spray of enamel paint. This way I can pull out the colours I need and arrange them on the china plate.
Now what have I been painting?
The Ruby throated male humming bird and isn't he handsome?
On Tuesday I finished the dissected fig. Plan to paint another flower but too busy so far to do anything.
Have a wonderful woyww and I hope there will be time over the weekend
to have a peek at lots of desks.

I've got the paints and paper but it's a very long time since I did any painting. Yours is stunning.

That fig looks good enough to eat, and the humming bird is just spectacular - I would swear that's a photo. As always your work is jaw-droppingly gorgeous.
