During my time at Borders College so far I have learnt quite a lot of useful information about different techniques and ways of using watercolours and acrylics. I have inserted 3 pictures below this text of a 'Graded Wash', a 'Colour Wheel' and experimenting going from light to dark.

Anna King

Tuesday 17th September 2013

It started off pretty cold today but none of that mattered when we entered Old gala House; the house in which Anna King's works of art was being displayed because her work was absolutely magnificent, to some people it may not look like anything special if you just take a quick glimpse at them but if you really look at them and study each and every little detail you can clearly see how much passion she puts in to her work. Truly brilliant. I also noticed in one of her paintings (which I sadly forgot to take a picture of) she had scratched out the shape of a lamp-post, it took a while for me to notice that but when I looked up close I saw it. 

Here are a couple of the paintings that were displayed today
