As there are a number of artists among our midst, I thought I would start a topic for watercolour painting.

Yes Rob I am on the mend.However I feel so good I have to be careful not to do too much. I had a splendid walk today, about one and a half miles and loved every minute of it
I start rehab physio this week and hope to start coming off the painkillers

That is excellent news, Sue, absolutely spot on with regards not doing too much, your body is telling you to go for it, but you regret it the next day!!
Take it nice and easy.......;

Well, it is such an awful day here in Rossendale that I am settling down to paint....
An old wollen mill in the vicinity of Hardcastle Crags, should be interesting.

Right, here is my pencil sketch, I am using bockingford, 140lb not paper, about 15"x11", a bit big to scan so there are parts of the image missing.

I have done the sky, and started blocking in the Autumnal colours for the background trees..
Slight pigs foot with the sky, but hopefully won't look too bad when dry!!

I have got some more wash on now, on the packhorse bridge and on the cottage.
I have also put a bit more detail on the wooded area.
