1st Attempt at Watercolour Paintings

While in an unsettled state during October 2007, I found myself without a computer and the internet for a while.

I needed something to occupy my mind, so Gurgi managed to get me some watercolour paints, a few brushes and some textured paper from Kmart.

We became members of the local library and so I borrowed a couple of books for some advise and tuition.

I decided to paint pictures of a few photos we had taken and I found that painting was very relaxing and enjoyable.

Even though I’m no expert and my watercolours are not up to any professional standard, it was good to see the results of my work appear before my eyes.

One day I would like to go to watercolour classes as I’m sure that more expensive paint, better quality paper and tuition would make my experience working with that media even more enjoyable.

You can view my paintings by visiting my Watercolour Gallery.

About Martin Guppy

It was in my younger years, living in Kidderminster, England, UK, I picked up my first home computer - a Sinclair ZX Spectrum+ (1984). From that point on, I haven't been able to shake what seems to be my new found purpose. My 'hobby' has had me spend much of my life being surrounded by computers and gaining valuable knowledge through the art of trial and error. Thus leading me to developing Open Source Projects, such as CRIMP, Whap, Genwulf and maintaining a small cluster of my very own. I know I'm good at what I do. I also know I'm a keen and rapid learner. Should there be prospective information floating out there... I will consume it.
