Quite daunting painting on this scale. The first brush stroke is the one that causes the heart to race. You glance at the brush, then at the paper and it's like jumping into

 a deep pond of watercolour wash! 

But all worth the journey, watercolour washes are given room to move, flow and merge together 

Watercolour washes

Enjoying playing with the watercolours this week. Felt inspired by the sultry stormy weather. I used a very limited palette in fact two colours were only used. Arches (not) paper was a dream and loved sloshing the mixes with plenty of water, to gain atmosphere and happy accidents. Quite different from the pastels.
Looking forward to a painting day around Derwentwater tomorrow, perfect watercolour weather I hope :-)
