"Holtby Church"

 by Jeremy Maidment

Watercolours by Jeremy

About Holtby Church Jeremy says "I found the mixture of brick, stone and slate a challenge. The view point is unusual being the rear of the church, but the mixture of shapes drew me to paint this view point.

About the Gateway"This is of the Gateway into the area where Lincoln Cathedral stands. I enjoyed the challenge of the light and shade but feel that I have been too detailed in the execution of the building. For the trees I used sponges of different textures. This was the first time i have used sponges but will certainly use them again.

Watercolours by Jacqueline

Jacqueline has submitted these fine watercolours painted in her native Lincolnshire. I like the lightness of her colour ... just as watercolours should be in my opinion.

"The Ulster History Park"

Watercolours by Ingrid

Ingrid made her first attempts on reaching her 50th birthday. Bad advice on brush sizes ruined her first effort, but with better brushes she tried again and has never looked back. Ingrid claims not to have found her particular style yet, but believes she'll know it when she sees it.

Glamis Castle was Ingrid's first 'proper' painting after completing Frank Clarke's book, and "The Ulster History Park" was an exercise in Dermot Cavanagh's book "Awash with Colour" painted shortly afterwards.
