Trying a larger painting on Arches. The paper is definitely superior; I just need to learn its ways and learn to extract as much as I can from it. Makes me realise how used one gets to certain materials, that mixing it up feels so strange...almost like starting over, but on a..

Finally tried the Arches paper (rough). I do like it very, very much. (It IS a masters' favourite, after all!) PS: To someone who's tried both Baohong and Arches: which do you prefer? WIP of some paper trials.

Conversations | Watercolour An attempt to draw from memory: a scene I came across of two people conversing over food, while we waited for our own take-away at a restaurant. It stayed with me, etched, begging to be painted. :)

Market at dawn | Watercolour A scene from the portside fish market in Hamburg, early in the morning. Not completely satisfied with this - I felt pretty rusty because it's been a while. But I do like the colours and it was a good warm up session!

Painted the view outside my window! The summer lilac bushes are a favourite along the bees and the butterflies. I can spend all day gazing out at the hols and the woods and the local wildlife creating a ruckus outside!

Had fun trying to capture the cast shadows on this street on a sunny morning! My goal is to get a lot looser with architecture though. :)

Used a lovely photo taken by the hubs as reference for this: A limited palette painting testing out my new watercolor tubes. The colours used were basically the primaries and a couple of earth tones (ochre and sienna).

First attempt at
#pleinair
#watercolourpainting
from a couple of weekends ago. Thoroughly enjoyed the experience even though the painting itself got a little too overworked than I prefer because I made some mistakes with the shadows. Definitely recommend painting out in the open!

'Plein-air'-ed this one literally leaning out of my window to paint the peonies blooming below. Mostly done with wet-in-wet watercolour and some negative painting. It reminds me of Manet's peonies, a favourite!

A painting focusing on lighting: I attempted to capture the golden hour glow of the setting sun on the right. This was an exercise to improve depth in my paintings through underpainting and glazing. :)

When I started this account, I was pretty sure I'd be ignoring it a lot and I was right. I really can't juggle a lot of social media but honestly, this platform is pretty neat and straight forward, and I hope I can get more active on it.

Two very cool, quirky doorknobs I found at the Heidelberg castle, which is full of ancient gems like these. Painted the froggie yesterday and gave my salamander a friend! These belong to my 'Slices of Life' mini sketchbook

Inspired by the yellow blooms of the 'Konnapoo' or 'Kanikonna' trees in Kerala - they're a sight to see when they're in full bloom! I made this painting a couple of years ago. :)

I love the winding mountain roads of Kerala. The bridge in the painting is a 108 year old bridge that is known & named after its 13 pillars. I painted this from a reference picture I took en route; my favourite detail is the little yellow road sign!

Okay, so this feels like a new start. Anyway, my name is Shery. I'm a doctor with a penchant for art. Call it a hobby if you will, but I do take it seriously enough to try and get some art done as often as I can. My most favourite media are oil paints and watercolour - I simply cannot choose..1/3
