Here's a small 4 page book with the miniature pain

Here's a small 4 page book with the miniature paintings I did when I got back from India.
I had 2 days of lessons on the technique of Indian miniature painting, one in Jaipur (thanks to @artinnjaipur) and one in Udiapur.
The paintings I did there where really mostly done by the artists themselves! But I learnt so much about the traditional materials : pigments, paper, finishes etc , infact in Jaipur we spent nearly the first 3 hours talking only about paper!
I've always loved the intense colour and detail of Indian paintings, and you can't really learn much in 2 days, and I can't say these are very good... and I used gouache not natural pigments... They are at least painted on my handmade paper made from esparto grass and I made them into this little book shaped like an antique Indian ledger.

This is one of my new paintings, acrylic on panel

This is one of my new paintings, acrylic on panel , untitled but this series will be about India. 30cmx30cm.
It's hard to believe that l've only finished 2 so far....l will post the other tomorrow.
I've changed mediums in order to experiment. I have been rediscovering acrylic paint.
There are things I love about acrylics, like how fast it dries, but so much I will never love. So it's a challenge and has actually been helping me to focus on composition and shape, layering and mark making, rather than just getting absorbed in the beauty of the paint. It has made me realise how much I rely on the materials and the colour I know, and how well I know them.

Number 5 #artistsupportpledge "The Lecrin Valley"

Number 5 #artistsupportpledge "The Lecrin Valley" Watercolour on paper.
£180 unframed, postage not included.
Every year for 4 years I have gone to this field in the Lecrin Valley to paint the almond trees in blossom. It's one of my favourite places. The light is always different and everywhere I look is so beautiful.
Over the next few weeks I will be participating in the @artistsupportpledge , began by @matthewburrowsstudio to help artists during lockdown.
This brilliant idea comes from a place of community, trust and generosity as it is a way of not only supporting artists, but of also artists supporting eachother.
The idea is to offer works for not more than £200 each and once the artist has sold the value of £1,000 he or she must pledge to spend £200 on another artists work.

Number 4 of #artistsupportpledge "When the Sun Goe

Number 4 of #artistsupportpledge "When the Sun Goes Down" Oil, sand and beeswax on paper. 13,5cmx10cm unframed.
Available **£180 ** (postage not included.) This painting is part of an ongoing series of small works about layers and patterns- inspired by the fields of fruit trees and the rich red arid land here where I live, south of Granada, in Andalucia.
We are 4 weeks into lockdown and I'm doing lots of new oils, but my work is slow and takes me time, so even though I have many paintings on the go at the moment, so many small ones... ( productive time☀️🌱) none of them are finished yet.
Also l am doing experiments with cold wax, instead of the hot wax (encaustic) which is interesting, and easier to use, thanks to #sallyhirstartist , who is part of our #costadelartecollective and doing some free online classes at the moment. If you are interested you can go to her facebook account: sallyhirstartistandtutor. I hope to show you some new oils soon.
I am very happy to be participating in the @artistsupportpledge , and I am on my way to buying my first work from another artist! ❤

In India I realised the secret of using rose petal

In India I realised the secret of using rose petals succesfully as inclusions in handmade paper. So I've had great results this time - they haven't turned brown or stained the paper. And they still smell lovely. I've also included some new leaves of the tree of heaven.

Winter Trees. Oil on paper 10cmx7cm. £125 unframe

Winter Trees. Oil on paper 10cmx7cm. £125 unframed.
I painted this after going to Granada through the snow and fog early in the morning. Snow is not an every day event when you live on the Costa Tropical, so it stayed in my memory and I made a few paintings, all quite a bit larger than this one, which is very small.
Actually I did frame it and gave it to my son for his Birthday after he said he liked it, but he said that I could keep it!
So here it is, number 2 (lots more to come) of works for sale as part of the @artistsupportpledge, began by @matthewburrowsstudio to help artists during lockdown.
