EP.22 - NEW BOOK PROJECT

The rain has stopped and it's just me and the wildlife on my early morning walk.

I have been thinking recently about a new book project

I have started painting in the smaller format this week using the small Ron Ranson hake brush which I am trying to get used to.

There's an anxiety now to fill every space in your life. Remember to set aside protected time where you can chill out and relax.

I believe that any creation that comes from within is art regardless of age or talent. I had an interesting question from a listener who asked whether it was still art if their 5-year old kid did it?

A viewers comment about synthetic brush hairs got me thinking into how ethical our art supplies are?

I've started working on a new book project. My new book will be called 'Painting Loose Landscapes in Watercolour'.

We all have our favourite brushes but it's important to give them a little TLC

We all have trouble at times finding inspiration so today I talk about what I do personally when I feel short of creativity. Join me at http://www.patreon.com/stevencronin

How do you approach simplifying and improving on photos when painting your watercolours? How do you choose what to keep, what to lose and how to alter colours?
