So pleased that Julie can keep her.Nespresso machine - I have to confess that I have my new machine plus a backup machine just in case the new machine breaks down. That means I don't have to go without my Nespresso for even one day.@Krystyna23040 perhaps I have found a way forward with the Nespresso pod mountain and me. Caramelizio (230 mls) plus Aeorcino lowest level (lacto free milk and 25 mls cream combo) with 2 sweeteners and 2 tsps inulin. Works for me as I clearly don't like coffee much just lightly flavoured milk and means Julie can keep the month old Nepresso - for now .
Just 1 backup? I'll find out just how many we have when we move. I know of 4 ( not sure I'm meant to) but pretty sure there are more. On the other hand I'm not sure Julie knows just how many socks or coats I have because I actually don'tSo pleased that Julie can keep her.Nespresso machine - I have to confess that I have my new machine plus a backup machine just in case the new machine breaks down.

Sounds like you have devised a good 'work around ' for the cream issue.
Yes I did use an old candle to add wax resist. I don't like doing this on watercolours so the seascape I paint will have to be white paper, lots of water and pushing the paint around, I will hopefully eventually upload the finished large seascape. Be brave I look forward to seeing your art.Did you use a 'resist' for the first wave picture or is it dry brush?

Up at silly o'hour, so done my painting for today....
Here is my daily challenge painting. A3 size, acrylics, 2 shaving brushes and two rigger brushes used to paint this one. No other tools used apart from a sleepy brain...back in bed now...
Have a brilliant day.
Have fun.
Hugs if you need them.

All family gone, peace at last, but great day. Not much time for painting so a quick sketch with a watercolour wash for me after seeing a sunset on the horizon this evening, sorry only 20 minutes in my sketch book.

@gennepher another great painting. Hope all is well with your property and yourself.
Thank you all on the behalf of Mrs MC for the birthday wishes I know she's had a great day with our daughter, son and grandchildren.
Thank you lovely PM. Tax return time, plus new grandchild hugs, holiday hunting and just life getting in the way of me and my fave thread! Enjoying catching up as always.Mornng All. 6.1 at 0800. Still the slow come down from carby Sunday I suspect. Mr PM working from home today and friend popping in for a soup lunch. Not sure how all that blends but it will. @Goacher55 and @Cumberland welcome back each good to hear from you. @HarryBeau Charlie and Lola have grown so much but seem very happy and relaxed. @gennepher thank you for another beautiful painting. This turning into the best calender ever for dull January. @Debandez good to see you hope little Jasper and his mum are doing well. Have a good Wednesday everyone. Stay well, stay safe.
Awesome!!!Last year I did a watercolour of a farrier shoeing a horse, it was a commission but I really enjoyed doing the work, it's A1 size, now framed and on his wall......

Painting this morning.

Tools used - two shaving brushes (as paint brushes) to paint, two fine rigger brushes (for the trees), and a tiny natural make up sponge. And acrylic paints.
This one is A4 sized, as opposed to the larger A3 of the last few days.
I don't like it because of the frustration with painting in a smaller size.
Also I didn't get the luminosity of the area round the misty sun that I wanted. I accidentally got some black in that area, and had to wipe it out and then dry it and paint it white and rework it. That did not make me happy...
I will do this smaller A4 sized for next few days to see how I get along with the size.
Anyways thanks to @PenguinMum for suggesting The Works. I went yesterday to the clearance outlet. They had odds and ends of stuff I have never seen in the normal Works shops. I got some 500ml System 3 acrylics for half price (I've never seen System 3 at The Works ever before). And some other stuff. And paper. They had a watercolour pad 230gsm, but it was smaller than A3 but larger than A4, (15x10.5"). I like the longer shape of it.. All I need to do is prime the pages in advance, and it will be fine for acrylics. So I bought all they had....
I don't know if it is a regular Works line. But I have enough paper for a few months now!!!
I just cannot convince myself to like the above painting. But I have spent an hour on it, so I stop now! I think it is the proportions and smaller size of the A4 paper.
Have a good day.
Back in bed with cat now. I had a disturbed night's sleep, so I don't feel in the best of moods. Feel dissatisfied with stuff this morning. You know the way you get a sadness descend for no apparent reason? Got to get rid of this feeling. So going to have a nap, and I will wake up bright and cheery.
Hugs for those who need them
Take care.
The day can only get better!
From YouTube:
A Thai temple cat's bid for affection during solemn Buddhist prayers for the new year on Tuesday was enough to test the patience of a monk trying to maintain his concentration. Video of the saffron-robed monk gently trying to push away the cat who crawled into his lap during the five-hour-long prayers delighted Thais who saw the footage on Facebook.
