Watercolour paintings of Neve

Shortly after Neve died, I felt compelled to paint her portrait; learning to paint people has been an unexpectedly healing journey of discovery. You can read more about this in Painting Neve and Painting Neve 2.0.

I use a variety of supplies but my favourite paint is from The Stoneground Paint Company and my favourite paper is Arches Aquarelle Cold Pressed.
