It's the start of a new year and I am really looking forward to the months ahead of creating artwork.
Over the holiday period I've been busy experimenting....
Got myself some modern lino panels and a cutting kit and did my first lino cut since I was 12......
And then it took me 3 attempts to print something that I was happy with......
I love all the little gritty bits, I used black acrylic as it was all I had, really need to go and get some proper printing inks.
Then I treated myself to a Learn how to paint flowers in watercolour, by artist Julie King and I did my first exercise below......
And the finished piece, so enjoyed doing this.....
All artwork is ©andrea turk
And with that I did a mixed media piece......
But weirdly enough I didn't like it, so I did a zen tangle one, which I much prefer.....
Hope that it is a prosperous year for us all!!!

Have to say, can't believe I left it so long to really get into watercolour, I was afraid of it as a medium and now that I've started, I love it, and don't really know what I was scared of!
And then I did another exercise, this one took the whole day, but I really enjoyed it so much.
Then I wanted to do one that wasn't someone's exercise so I started to draw out my own design.....
There is a strong folklore trend so I am developing that idea....
