Been teaching myself how to paint with watercolours over the past month, good ol’ Google and books. These are my first serious attempts, two combining watercolour and black ink, one completely watercolour.
ultimately I’d like to do landscapes.

Beautiful mate especially the watercolour without the ink. Very, Very good. I think you are ready for the Plein-air. Mackka
Thanks Mackka, had to look that up. Too hot for the outdoors today, 9.56am and we have already hit 38.
cheers
Wasn’t suggesting today mate, when things cool down and time is available to enjoy your artwork and take in your surroundings. It’s not the art that’s important but the peace of mind and the pleasure your craft gives you. Enough philosophising, love ya work Glenn. Mackka
Still not finished maybe next year 
Coming up nicely.

Rome wasn't built in a day, and that old piece wouldn't want you to be in a hurry either mate.

Coming together nicely
Need to cut the ply for the top and buy some foam ,square upholstery tacks and material for the cover …toss up between a plain or pattern material or splurge on a piece of leather..
Waiting for these to arrive from flea bay

Looking the goods Nucopia, well done.
Very talented artistry Manpa.
The painting journey continues, these two frames had some old storm photos in them for the last 25 years, time for a change. Had to cut new mats for them, small flowers are all assorted Aus Natives, amazing how much lighter the area is with these lighter paintings on the wall. Sorry for the sideways images, rotated them but they still loaded sideways.
With the work that's gone into that, the finish has to be leather, only other alternative would be a beaut tapestry, but your partner might not appreciate the suggestionComing together nicely

I also like the idea of a tapestry DihuskyWith the work that's gone into that, the finish has to be leather, only other alternative would be a beaut tapestry, but your partner might not appreciate the suggestion
Would give it an authentic period charm l recon .. I was also thinking to cut thin strips of similar l wood to use as trim and to secure the material ( tapestry/leather ) instead of using upholstery pins to secure the material , and then add brass corner pieces on each corner of the wood trim…like this..
Will be something to think about after we get back from Elderado..

Imo, I think it is too modern for the chest. I would go leather. But thats just me. Mackka
