March painting challenge

Jackie Masters A Winter’s Walk, watercolour, 8x11in. (20x28cm)

Snow was the theme of our March painting challenge and we’ve enjoyed seeing your snowy images. Jackie’s watercolour of a scene inspired by the local woodland in her area is reproduced here (left). Jackie is relatively new to watercolour and only started painting during lockdown. She says her favourite subjects are snow scenes and seascapes. We’re looking forward to seeing the results of the April interiors challenge next month.
