Don't forget the hairdryer! Step by step painting in pics.

Usually I’m too impatient to document my painting process but ‘Beloved Bend of Isles’ is an exception and I'm not sure why (!). Here are the step by step pics. Watercolour’s a brilliant and fun creative medium because mostly it requires giving up ‘control’ to allow a painting to emerge. I did plan this painting a bit and also pretended to have control over the colour application and movement (with water). The view is one of my favourite places in the world.

A cashew latte. REALLY???

A cashew latte. REALLY???

YES! One part soaked (raw) cashews to three parts water, blended for longer than you think. The result is frothy and wonderful – and just about indistinguishable from a cow’s milk café latte. My (ahem) extensive online research shows that a little cinnamon and even a date or two (the fruity kind, not a potential partner) can be popped into the mix for sweetness. Cheers big ears! Please have a squiz at my new hand-crafted COFFEE DOGS card collection. Aromatic blend, international roast, flat white, tall black… They’re being snapped up by aficionados and can be seen here: https://elizabethvercoe.com.au/collections/artcards/products/coffee-dogs-card-collection
