At 9:38am on August 9, 2008, Diane Stafford said…: Hi Marion, articles and features of interest on other websites are fine to direct to - the only policy I have on re-directing to other sites is that this site is for active members to promote themselves and their art and if that results in sales too that's brilliant. I don't want AHC to be a free for all advertising portal.

I'll be looking forward to seeing it, well done. x Di
(thanks for asking btw)

Yes, it was about the Orchid show and that is great that you would come up for the Sunday. I will let the other girls know which day as I am not sure whether they were doing Saturday or Sunday. Sounds like a real fun show and I am so looking forward to chatting with you all.
Hope this shocking weather has well and truly passed on.
Hugs
Katy

with water-colour,there are several things i have found throughout the years..as you say,Ron-muddiness happens !
I use a limited palette.A couple of blues,a couple of yellows and a red,with a foundation glaze of pale clear lemon.
Also there are opaque watercolours such as the ochres,which I like for atmosphere,and they must be put on wet and quickly and not touched again.And then there are the transparent which can be built up in layers,drying and then wetting again-you can get deep richness-almost jewel-like with transparents.
Barry-it is unwise to put E mails or addresses publicly.However somewhere here there is a place to write to friends.A couple of NZ ladies are arranging a meeting at an Auckland venue in a month's time,which will be so lovely,and we have written privately.
The founders of our town originally came from Nottingham,so the large local pub is called the 'Nottingham castle'.
