Rediscovering Watercolours

I have not painted with watercolours for some years but following a recent holiday to Northumberland I felt inspired by the magnificent scenery. I am a little rusty but really enjoyed rediscovering how tricky watercolours can be!
These little sketches were painted very much with my aunt, who lived and painted in Northumberland, in my thoughts...


Bamburgh Castle from Holy Island

Mainland from Holy Island

And this is what happens when you get carried away with 'splattering' your watercolours, forgetting your half finished acrylic painting is right behind you!!!!
