Getting into the swing with watercolours….

At least, I’ve been having a go, and I’m still developing my style with these. As you can probably tell, I don’t do an awful lot of ‘realistic’ painting. Mine is a little off the wall, whatever it is I’m doing and in whatever medium. It’s Marmite… you either like it or you don’t. There’s not really a middle ground with it. Same with my watercolours; I’m only putting a fine film of watery colour on parts of the painting, rather than ‘colouring it in’. I start with a pencil / graphite sketch, with a lot of blending and the use of my battery operated rubber….(how cool is that?!  – shame I didn’t realise for a couple of weeks it was battery operated! I happened to read about them, looked on (good old) Amazon, and thought – I’ve got one of those…!).  Here’s some of my sketch water colours…
