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

More detail on the bridge, blocking the mill in and detailing on the stones in the foreground.
Cheers Tom, time for a brew.....

A bit more detail on the mill and stonework, put a wash on the right hand banking.
Now I am getting ready to paint the river and reflections, this is where it could all go horribly wrong.
I think that the trees in the foreground can wait till last.

I agree with everything Tom has said and it was so fast! How long did it take in real time?

Stanley, I started about half one, and finished about eight last night, but broke off a few times, probably took about three and half hours all told..

Astounding. Indicates a sure touch and a good understanding of the process. Wonderful. (let's see, two pics a day at £80....... You need an agent!)
