A Charming Old Shed
Yesterday, I delivered a presentation at a conference at Peppers Manor House, Sutton Forest in the Southern Highlands of New South Wales, Australia.
Peppers Manor House was built in 1878 by Henry Edward Kater and was the rural retreat for the Kater family for almost one hundred years.
In the grounds there are a few buildings, one being a charming old shed that caught my eye. I snapped an image with my phone as I was keen to use it as my ‘Day 67’ Watercolour Sketch inspiration.
Both images are below. I’m thinking of doing a larger version of it, in time.

Fond Memories
Centuries Old
The Journey Continues…
On 26 January 2019, I decided to do a Watercolour Sketch a Day.
This is the second article devoted to this. Today is Day 37 and I am happy to report that I have not missed a single day thus far.
Am having a lot of fun and hopefully learning a bit more each day and am challenging myself to often go beyond the subjects that I was sketching/painting in Watercolour initially.
I am using Winsor & Newton Cotman Half-Pan paints in a Moleskine Watercolour Journal.
Here are a selection from Day 19 to Day 33 here.
Still so much to learn, Am looking forward to attempting different subjects as time goes by.
