Welcome to my world of watercolour month

I started out as a devout Water-colourist. Refusing to use black, leaving highlights instead of using white paint and generally having a miserable time with a medium that can’t be tamed!

Day 1 Prompt – Sunlit.

I try to harmonise my paintings these days, starting with an all over wash and then choosing to darken areas and get the watercolour contrast. This is an image of a interior of a caravan on the Heritage park in Stepaside in Wales.

When it is sunny in Wales the light really shines. I wanted to get the feeling of a late afternoon light streaming into the bedroom.

I’ve picked out the creases on the bed and perhaps been a bit harsh with the light in the bottom left of the picture. The shadows on the wall of the light and glass, just help break up the spaces.

Day 1 done!
