hope this newsletter find you well!
Todays Newsletter is to tell you about a new Blog post and I showcase of some of Terrys Winter works.
New Blog Post
I recently uncovered some old articles that Fiona and Terry wrote over their many years of working with various publications around the world.
This one is a great one from 2013 where Terry explains how to paint water using watercolour - its a great read with some great hints.
Terry produced a wealth of wonderful winter scenes, he was an expert at using masking fluid to great effect. Some of these paintings are very festive and we now have these available as packs of 10 cards on our Etsy shop.
Like the calendars these are all print on demand from local fulfilment centres to allow us to offer cheaper postage and quicker delivery, especially for our international customers!
Terry loved to paint winter scenes and often turned his summer scenes into winter ones using the same layout. Using masking fluid and shadows in harmony to create popping snowy scenes reminiscent of those deep cold winters we all remember, even if they are not as common these days.
If you are interested in learning how to paint snow scenes you can use Terrys book Painting watercolour snow scenes available now on the website.
The current images we have are:
First we have a classic winter view of Bourton on the Water with a setting sun and the famous Christmas tree that is erected in the river each year
Then a second classic which shows families playing on the tree in front of the same famous tree
This is a lovely sunset image of a country house and lane
Finally we have this made for card image showing 2 young children posting their festive cards in the local post box
All the cards are roughly A6 size (slightly different in the USA and Canada) printed on eco-friendly 300gsm matte paper and are blank inside so you can tailor your message for whatever the festive occasion.
They come in packs of ten - click on an image for more details!
I hope you are inspired to try some winter scenes as we move into the colder months here in the northern hemisphere.
Happy Painting
Martin
