Waking up this morning, I smile. Twenty-four brand new hours are before me. I vow to live fully in each moment.

W&N watercolour on Amedeo 200gsm
I bought a No. 26 (3cm - 1¼") Hog's hair flat brush and, of course, I just had to try it out! My No. 12 round brush is my favourite, and next in line is my No. 10 Round. I very rarely use a flat brush unless it's a big painting and then I use a large flat brush to fill the back-ground. Painting this entirely with a flat brush was totally strange to me, also resulting in a different style and outcome for me. So I smile!

The more I do watercolours, the more I appreciate how great paintings like this are.
ReplyDeleteAaah, thank you ever so much Liz! You obviously like this style, that's why it resonates with you! I sometimes find less is more and brings out what one wants to convey!
