About this blog


WELCOME! My name is Ann Mortimer and I'm a professional watercolour artist and tutor from Nottingham, UK.

This is a "learn how to" and "problem solving" blog covering WATERCOLOUR TECHNIQUES.

You can look for things that interest you in the blog archive on the side bar when various topics have built up over time!

I'll be covering thing such as colour mixing, negative painting, using masking fluid, laying washes, painting water and all sorts of other things.

I see to my dismay that I have not posted on here for several months.  Luckily I did post quite a lot at the beginning which hopefully has kept people going in terms of things to try out.
I have just returned from collecting unsold paintings from the SFP Exhibition in Chichester.  The Nevada Rose painting below was on of the 5 paintings that sold out of the 7 I took down to exhibit, so I am thrilled about that.

I will soon be posting some more tips and techniques so watch this space!
