Here are a few snaps taken on today's visit to Port Sunlight "model village". which contains over 1000 Grade II listed dwellings. The village was build by Lord Lever for the workers in his factory at Port Sunlight, Merseyside, , over 100 years ago. The company went on to become the world famous Lever Brothers company that we know today. Famous brands produced by the company include Lifebouy Soap and Pears Soap amongst many others.

Way back in November 2000 I injured my back and it kept me off work for around 7 weeks. During that I time I started to watch a day time TV show called Watercolour Challenge and started to think, I'm sure I could do as well as some of the contestants.
The result was my partner bought me a starter set of paints, brushes and a book called 'Simply Painting' by Frank Clarke and from that moment on I started on the road to try to teach myself. There were plenty of disasters on the way, but I still managed to produce a few decent paintings, some of which are hanging on relatives walls. Then work and other interests started to get in the way of things and my interest waned, to such an extent that I haven't painted anything for 2 years now.
That changed 5 weeks ago, when my interest was rekindled and I started to go to evening classes for watercolour painting. I think the lack of practise is showing but I'm picking up tips as I go along and feel there has been some improvements in my techniques over the last 5 weeks.
Anyway see for yourself and feel free to critisise, but remember I do it for fun not profit.
