The 53rd sketch in my Moleskine 200gsm sketch-book - 8" x 5" (21cm x 12cm).
I just love these small Moleskine watercolour sketch-books. They have lovely 200gsm paper and are so easy to pack and are great for pencil, pen or watercolours.

Shhh… germination in progress. Can you hear the swish of the brush, dipping, dipping into water, gathering colour from the palette? That's the process of planting flowers in my watercolour garden. *•.¸🌿¸.•*

A familiar scene in our area - locals taking a short-cut on their way back from shopping at the local café.

Magalies River
With all the rain we've been having, the Magalies River is in full flow, winding its way down to Hartebeespoort Dam in the NorthWest Province (South Africa), where they have all the sluices open to release some of the water.
W&N watercolour on smooth cardboard, very similar to Yuppo. The paint is all slippery and can be manipulated around and even wiped out.

Balmy autumn days
"Now Autumn's fire burns slowly along the woods,
And day by day the dead leaves fall and melt."
- William Allingham
W&N watercolour in my Moleskine 200gsm Nature Journal
Balmy autumn days and the landscape is softly turning yellow, heralding that winter is close.
