woyww - sweet pink rose

A completed rose is sitting on my desk this Wednesday.  Happy with the end result which was painted over the Easter weekend.  The leaves took ages ... in the end I missed some of the veins.  So don't look too closely :) Once again all credit to Anna Mason's online classes.  This time I painted from the reference picture and relied on what I have learnt from previous tutorials.

A woyww desk photo to keep in the spirit of the post. 

woyww - happy easter

My painting desk is pretty much at a standstill as I have finished painting and waiting for those big eggs to dry.

Close up of the completed song thrush eggs from Anna Mason's May tutorial.  

Turned out to be a lot trickier than it looks.

Happy woyww and happy easter

woyww - bits and pieces

A birds eye view of the bits and pieces on my other desk.  Repurposing old watercolour backgrounds and bringing out a collection of lovely dies (thank you RosA).  Hopefully inspiration will strike and a few ATC's will be the result.

Hope you are having a great woyww.

woyww - 2 little christmas roses

Two little hellebores painted over the past fortnight.  A short post for woyww as it has been a busy week with work and family activities.  I shouldn't complain about work as it funds the painting and craft.

Happy woyww and I promise to visit over the weekend.

woyww - flowers, knitting and a dissected pear

Wednesday's desk is a mix of things this week.  

 A wonderful photo of 2 pretty Christmas roses (Hellebors) from Angela's garden. Looking at how best to compose these sweet flowers before I start painting.  Thank you Angela for sharing this photo with me.

Last nights attempt at knitting a baby beanie is still lying on the desk.  It has been years since I knitted so I am starting with a basic no fail pattern.  

Final pic is the completed dissected pear from last week.  All in all a productive week.

Visits to woyww desks will be a slow meander over the weekend.

woyww- painting a pear

Not a lot on the desk.  A print out of this month's tutorial, left over paper from last painting, water pots, brushes and paints.  Far too many interruptions today resulted in no decision being made about whether I paint the pear.    Will pop around and visit desks over the next couple of days to look for inspiration.  

Have a great woyww. 

second attempt at an apple blossom

Finally finished the second attempt at the apple blossom.  

All credit to Anna Mason's tutorials.  I never get tired of painting.
