11/04/2022: It’s from drawings like these that I make my paintings. I have a new canvas all stretched up and ready. I go through my sketch books to find the next one I’m inclined to take to the next stage. In the end I didn’t choose one of these - I may do next time. You’ll have to wait until the painting is finished to see what I chose!

Bridge at Walla Brook (with pony).
“One very important part of the process with watercolour painting is to leave the lightest places white from the beginning and make sure that they remain white by the end. All the lightest places in a watercolour are un-painted.”
Please bear with me as I build this site, thank you.
