WendyGeneWatercolours

Hello! I am Wendy and I am a hobbyist watercolour artist.

After retiring from a full-time career as a teacher of Modern Foreign Languages, just before the Covid outbreak (good timing!), I began to take online classes with Ardington Arts in watercolour painting and pen and wash.
I began by learning how to paint landscapes and flora, and I have recently diversified into buildings and whimsical mice! The latter proving to be particularly popular!

When I began painting, never in a million years did I ever think that people would want to purchase my artwork, but friends and family were so encouraging and kind with their compliments, that I decided to give it a go and I took part in my first craft market in December 2024. I don’t have a website as yet, but I do have a presence on Instagram and Facebook where you can follow me (please do!) and a selection of my artworks can be viewed.

I trade with South Central Makers at Stockbridge and Bishops Waltham as often as I can, and I also attend markets at Sherfield On Loddon, Woolton Hill and Highclere Village Market and this year I will be at the Alton Christmas Market.
