I had a lovely day today painting on the 1st day of 'Spring Watercolours' we had fantastic painting weather sunny skies, no wind and soft muted colours. Base camp was beside the Lake at Portinscale painting the old wooden posts, it's a lovely spot with the stream trickling by and for company two Coots or maybe they were Moor Hen's! Ducks and Canadian Geese. Painting on stretched Fabriano Not paper and using a limited palette of Cobalt blue, Yellow ochre, Burnt Sienna and my new favourite Opera Rose, it is a real girlie pink!

Beautiful Jane - I remember riding my bike through Portinscale on the way to Keswick.
The painting is gorgeous... looks much better than the real scenery!
Thanks for these comments, I was'nt sure if it had worked, painting outdoors is very different to inside studio work.

A really pleasant painting, featuring a wise choice of colours and a well achieved atmospheric perspective.
