Fiery alpine forest

After upgrading my watercolours to the winsor and newton artists range i finally got all my kit together and was having a little play. The fire came from mixing winsor orange (red shade) with quinacridone gold....cant wait to find the time to play some more...watch this space!

Ashcombe park cafe

My watercolour efforts have been rather non eventful lately due to having to earn money and do some proper work LOL, been busy animating a commercial and will remain busy for a few more weeks yet, but today i just threw caution to wind and took a few hours off! why not? surely thats the point of being your own boss eh? So Patch and i had a pleasant walk up to Ashcombe park and i sat down to do this little sketch. Forgot to pack a pencil so had to just dive straight in....my previous attempts to do this have all failed miserably but with a bit of patience and some cool jazz tunes soothing me from my iphone i am quite pleased with this one, especially as i only took my little mini field watercolor kit. Not happy with the red banner....note to myself...put a decent red in that kit!
