Perylene Green: A Brief History
Hi everyone, and welcome back to another edition of Andy’s colour histories. AKA, an interesting journey into how exactly that colour found its way into your paint-box, and why exactly you should use it. This week, I thought we’d take a look at Perylene Green, which is a particular favourite of mine – I love […]
A lavender haze this week.
Hello everyone, and welcome back to another watercolour week! A slightly later edition this week, but no less packed with painting! Last week’s live broadcast was ‘Window Floral,’ and, as always, it was great to see so many of you there. It was nice to imagine a pop of colour on the windowsill, especially with […]
Sports and springtime
Hello, everyone! Welcome back to another week of loose watercolours! Did you get any painting done? Whether you did or you didn’t, it doesn’t matter – just get yourselves a nice cuppa, settle down, and start fresh today. A new week brings new painting opportunities, after all. Toby and I have had a bit of […]
A Day in the Life (of a Loose Watercolour Artist)
Hello everyone! How are you all this week? I thought I’d drop in with a quick look at what exactly I get up to in an average day. A day in the life, if you will. It’s not as action-packed as you might think – no exciting adventures, or crazy schemes, but it might give […]
February flowers this week
Hello everyone, and welcome back to another Loose Watercolour week! Hopefully you’re all well and settled into the new year now, seeing as it’s now February (hasn’t it just flown by)! If you close your eyes and wish hard enough, it almost feels like there’s a slight spring breeze in the air, and I’m actually […]
Gold Ochre: A Brief History
Hello everyone, and welcome back to another addition of What’s that colour, and how exactly did it get in my paint box? Not very catchy, though. I might have to go back to the drawing board with that one. Today, we’ll be taking a quick look at Gold Ochre, and its close cousin, Yellow Ochre. […]
Flowers and florals.
Hello everyone, and welcome back to another loose watercolour week! What have you been up to in the last seven days? I’ve been painting – now, there’s a surprise. I’ve even ventured out to do a couple of plein air paintings now that the weather is (slightly) warmer, but they were more like speed paints […]
Wet-on-wet this week.
Hello everyone, and welcome back to another watercolour week! I hope you all had a lovely weekend – it’s been very windy over here, and it’s been quite wet – and while it’s useful for painting loose watercolours, it’s slightly less fun when you’re getting soggy taking the dog for a walk. If you’ve got […]
Sepia: A Brief History
Hello everyone, and welcome back to another edition of Loose Watercolours: Colour History, with me, your host! Today, we’ll be looking at sepia, a colour which, without fail, I always associate with old photographs, and guess what? Today we’ll find out why. In all seriousness though, thank you all for your patience as we’ve moved […]
New year, new-ish painting habits.
Hello everyone, and welcome back to another weekly edition of Loose Watercolours with Andrew Geeson. How’s your week been? How’s the weather where you are? If it’s anything like the English Midlands right now, you’ll be all wrapped up under a blanket or two with a couple of jumpers to top it off. It’s quite […]
