Need to get back involved with this!

What’s the rest of the message on the hat?

Excellent. I have a couple of those, they’re still brilliant for everything, especially for persuading older bike parts to comply

But it turned out good :)

Painting challenge is next level. Will have a go this weekend.

Yessssssss look forward to seeing!

Does anyone remember watercolour challenge?
I might do a lockdown version this weekend. That can be my attempt at a painting. I have my small travel set and one brush, which is what I take on trips.

Back before I got a proper job I used to amuse myself with acrylic and inks as my preferred media. I kind of wish I had some of that around as its a lot of fun.

Victory Chimp.. he's a local (Northern Ireland) fella who makes bike accessories..

Go for it.. I have a similar kit.. never used until a few weeks back when I saw this thread..

I used to do quite a lot of watercolor, for travel sketches etc. But not done for ages. My kit is dialed to what I used to like, but feel it could do with tweaking a bit, not sure I need 3 yellows...

There's always room for 3 yellows @AWu-Tang #respectthewu

Hobbycraft are delivering and have pretty good stock/deals at the moment. Just had a delivery of canvases, acrylics and gesso come around 7 days from order, all around 40% off.

That's a hole I don't need to go down right now.... But a quick browse can't hurt. Right?

Also the emerald green isn't what I'd choose now...

Just noticed there's a mini brush in there too, so I have 2 brushes.

Nice! I usually paint with 3 yellows, 2 reds, 3 blues and white - acrylic though.
Post some watercolours if you get round to it - I'm totally new to it but given everything now and how packable it is, might be good way to combine cycling and art!

I'm proposing that BIClength becomes the standard unit of measurement for the Covid Art Club.

Well, that took a bit longer than I expected. Forgot how slow I am at painting but love doing it even if for mixed results. Also didn’t have and white acrylic so used household undercoat as a lot of this is built up like glazes with thin washes of paint.
Small still life of bits and pieces.

Ace.
Ill post something in a bit, Nothing seemed to come together well.

Interesting.
At first I couldn't decide if the image is on the inside of a tray, the outside of a tray, or a flat piece of well executed trompe l’Oeil. Shadow on the wall eventually decided it. Probably.
In other news - MrsE has given me her previously hidden 'spare' Cotman water colour pocket box: brace yourselves for novice daubings in pale shades over the coming days.

Spoiler alert. Inside of a tray :)

My brain is really, really struggling to see that as the inside of a tray, in spite of the shadow evidence of the surrounding brick work telling me that it isn't.
4 years at art college wasted.
Some sterling work on this thread.
Thank you so much to those who have contributed.
