This week’s Shoot it, Sketch it painting is based on the photo I used for last week’s post. When I decided to paint this beautiful little house, watercolour and ink seemed to be the obvious choice. Then my husband asked for an acrylic version. It turned out to be quite a challenge for me because I didn’t see it as an acrylic painting — at least not at first. But who am I to disappoint my biggest fan?
What a week I picked to use acrylics though! The weather in Christchurch has been rather warm and so the paint has been drying on the palette really quickly. It’s given a whole new meaning to the term ‘dry brush’! Click on the image(s) below to see more detail.
Others taking part in Shoot it, Sketch it are Clouds of Colour, The Little Leaf, Lunch Sketch, Poppytump, Two Scamps and Breana.
I’m going away on holiday in a couple of days (yay), so my next Shoot it, Sketch it will be 25th February.
Captures Akaroa essence essentially !

Thank you : ) It was fun (and educational) painting the same photo in different mediums. I think I may do a bit more of that.
I’ve had a wonderful holiday, thanks. We’re home now and I’ve got lots of projects in mind for the coming months. I can’t wait to get started.
