Tulipmania

Hello everyone, and welcome back to this week’s edition of Loose Watercolours! How’s your week been? We’re in March now, which feels almost ridiculous to say, but I guess this year has absolutely flown by!

February fun

Roses galore

February blues

Hello everyone, and welcome back to this week’s edition of Loose Watercolours! How’s your week been? Hopefully a little less wet and dreary than it’s been here.

Season’s greetings!

Hello everyone, and welcome back to another week of loose watercolour fun! How’s your week been so far? Good, I hope. Have you been getting into the Christmas spirit? I’ve finally caved this week and started to Christmas songs, and I think I’ve already heard fifty different renditions of Wham’s ‘Last Christmas.’ But already there’s […]
