On the edge
Gouache and watercolour on watercolour paper. 11x15in. I learned a lot from this painting but to be honest I wasn’t happy with it and may have to repaint it at some point.

I realised that I had forgotten to post the completed painting, so here it is. Better late than never! So much has happened in the last few months, where to begin to explain what I’ve been up to? That’s for another post I think.
