Nothing added in my shop yet but during Lockdown I’ve been working on getting to grips with gel printing, not to make collage material or gift tags, but as a serious tool to make art. Over the last five weeks I think I can genuinely say I’m making progress. Here’s a couple, both 12"x12". I now have a set of at least 20 such prints. You can see more in my IG feed (https://www.instagram.com/ianbertramuk.artist/)

Chris @ChrisStoneArtist you’ve really captured the water remaining on the beach very well. Am impressed because water is difficult to paint.

[ChrisStoneArtist (Chris Stone)]

Thanks Heather. I’ve been painting water for years and learn more every time I do it. I actually did very little to achieve that effect. Some masking fluid splatters, a few scrapes with a dry brush and a little bit of blending. Less is more is often the best policy with watercolour.

Hi, thank you for the message letting me know about this forum! I’m totally new to folksy so still finding my feet.
So this is just a quick hi and introduction to my work at Emma Hewitt Art !
