Here's a complementary colour experiment in orange and blue 🧡💙 after Vermeer. Of course, there is no way to get a full spectrum with such limitations. Nevertheless, I find it fascinating to attempt to recreate the relationship of colours and values in this way. Happy Monday!

A view of Government House, Yarralumla, in Canberra Australia. Watercolour on Fabriano CP. Happy with how the sky came out, and learning the more I do this.

A small watercolour to refocus this weekend. It's early autumn here, and things are starting to cool down. This little study of trees in Weston Park, Canberra. I was taken by the deciduous trees changing colour in front of a stand of eucalypts. #watercolour #landscape #art

Thanks Anna. No I don’t - maybe one day but I’m very much still learning! Do check out @chrisstephenart.bsky.social and @edowatercolourart.bsky.social YouTube channels though. Highly recommend them both.

Watching in horror at the rise of a fascist dictatorship in the US, undermining democracy within, threatening its allies abroad and holding the world hostage. In the mean time, Australia sends superfunds to the US on an appeasement mission. Utterly disgusted #auspol
