Technique Tuesday for October
Hey there, my lovely fellow painters.
Welcome to the October TT post, full of exciting artistic experiments for you. This month I have set myself the theme of ‘Scotland’ the home of some of my ancestors and a place I haven’t visited for a very long time, although I hope that will change in 2024. If you haven’t visited, I can highly recommend it to an artist as it is full of atmosphere and history around every corner. I particularly like the highlands and the area around Loch Ness, the way that ancient glaciers carved out the landscape fills me with awe and wonder every time.
That’s where I start the broadcast for this particular TT - mountains - and how we can tackle them by using the best that two media has to offer, acrylic and watercolour in a slightly unusual application of the two.
So grab your materials, unleash your creativity, and let's embark on an exciting artistic adventure amidst the drama of Scotland, don’t forget to leave me a comment either here or on YouTube and if you share your work on social media, please include the tag @aliboardartist.
See you again very soon and good luck with all your creative experiments, Ali.
