Thanks, I love being free with my colouring. I’m using one of those sample cards from Daniel Smith watercolours with a palette from Georgia Mansur, so I don’t get stuck in my own preferences and as it was free I am way more relaxed using.
Wow that first image so gets the heat and shimmer, that feeling just before the sun gets all too much and you know you need to get in the water and the light goes white
All this talk of sunshine – Arghghghgh! Still only 4C here this evening and many bleak days to go before we can enjoy the sort of feelings that first watercolour evokes. As it happens I’m going to the coast tomorrow: Hastings. But I shan’t be getting my clothes off, that’s for sure.
These are so charming. I especially like the first one.

Thanks Rod. As you know from your current exercises repeating a familiar motif gives you the opportunity to focus on other technical questions.

Lovely and spontaneous – I do like the first one with just paint, and the final pencil one especially!

Thanks Anna. I do a heap of sketches having a rest after lunch. Not all turn out how I like, but I was pleased with the outcomes this time.
