Roger's Watercolour  Art Club Hello to all you artists, This free, on-line art club is for anyone to join who has been on one of my watercolour painting courses. I hope that you are all enjoying your painting  and felt that you took away some new techniques that you can use from the course. Many people I see say that they don't know of a local art club close to where they live or if they do, the times they run do not fit in with their day to day work or other commitments. This got me thinking that it would be a good idea to start an on line club that you could all be part of and hopefully will inspire and encourage you all to paint more often and get your enjoyment factor up to another level. Your own on-line club can be used by you any time and day to suit you. Although I have called it  'Roger's art club', really it is your art club and not mine. This club will only be successful if you all join in. If no one has a go and contributes their painted images then we haven’t got a club.

This is not just for those of you who turn out great works of art,  it is for everyone.
 I want to see those of you who came on my course as complete beginners having a go and sending in your pictures.  You should all learn from looking at other peoples art,  seeing colour combinations that others have used that you like but may not have considered in the past, or perhaps noticing how others use light and shade etc.

If I waited until I painted the perfect picture before showing anyone then to this day I can honestly say that probably none of you would have seen any of mine yet.  I am never truly satisfied with any of my work, but that is what strives me on to keep trying to do better, so please don't wait until you have done the perfect picture before sending it in. In fact it would be beneficial to all the members including yourself if you showed the paintings that went wrong with a little note by them from you of what you had trouble with. I could then also help you with any problems as required.

Have you any suggestions how we can make the club more useful and interesting ?

At the start of each month I am going to present you with a sketch for you to work from.

Try and work from the sketch without any major alteration to the lines but add things if you wish.
 If I give you a landscape drawing then you could add trees, fences or other things that you think would make your picture look better. Remember that even well placed shadows can dramatically change a picture.

The basic sketch will give you focus and all you really need to do is play with colour and texture to create the mood of your picture. Every artists style and colours used will be a little different to the next and it will be great to put all your pictures together for you all to see just how different the same drawing can turn out.

Remember that you can add any comments about your picture such as the bits you had trouble with or bits that you really liked.
Your name with any of your comments given are the only things that will be shown on the website next to your picture.

Try and submit your picture before the last day of each month.  At the end of each month I will put the pictures together for you all to see.
It may take me about a week to get the pictures onto the site.
