I recently conducted a watercolour demonstration at the Bankstown Art Society.

I took a regular every day suburban street with shops and tried to show how that you can take anything for inspiration and transform it into a painting.

It does take practice! I too, sometimes believe there is a painting there, but, I can’t get it to work. I leave it and come back to it (after a long period of time – not the next day)

Using your imagination and artistic license – you create a story in the scene, keeping true to the identity of the location.

Thanks to all who came out!

Half complete work
