Here are the pages I started when away in Norfolk. A brilliant addition to my tool kit has been a reservoir brush (also called a waterbrush). This means I can do water colours sitting in an arm chair! A perfect companion to my ancient watercolour box which was my Dad's. The brush will clean with a few wipes on a paper towel so is ready for a new colour. No good for sweeping washes, but perfect for what I wanted.
I painted the shell whilst away, but added the photo montage and tracing paper seaweed back home.
Freehand copy of Cromer church window (photograph) done with the reservoir brush - not sure how I will develop this yet. I have to give credit to my Design Matters
Creative Sketchbook course for inspiring me with the cut out and adding a page.

These are just so good! I love the compositions
These are lovely - and I'm fascinated as to what a reservior brush is (off to google it now) :)
Such gorgeous pages and stunning colours xx
Beautiful work, the conker really pops out of the page it is so realistic.
glad you had a great trip. I love the sketches - eyepopping! I must get on with my Kemshall course - I think I need to do it whilst the kids are doing THEIR homework... x
Lovely Jill, especially the cut out pages. Sounds like the sketchbooks course has gven you the buzz you wanted. Those conkers really do say 'autumn' don't they?
gorgeous work - I too love my water brushes they make life sooo much easier, I love your Church window picture - utterly gorgeous!
Wonderful artwork Jill :-)

Fantastic pages.....especially the big conker at the top....its so shiny and life-like (not easy to achieve, I'm sure).
