Autumn Barn in watercolours

I decided to paint this one in watercolours. Mainly because I could do a wash of colour for the background trees which work really well.

Autumn Barn measures 14 x 11 inches and is painted on 300gsm Daler Rowney "The Langton" NOT watercolour paper.

Many thanks to Bonnie Sitter for the reference photo.

Bluebell Woods in watercolours

I had fun painting this one.  Trying out a new watercolour paper - Daler - Rowney 'The Langton' NOT 300gsm watercolour paper.  I rather like it - easier to rub off the masking fluid and to lift the paint to lighten areas.  I can purchase this paper from my local art shop (provided they have stock) as oppose to driving around 30 minutes to an art store that stocks Arches paper.  Will so how it goes.
