Location painting at Lily Hill Park...
My daughter and I went location painting at the end of the Summer holiday.
I hadn't used 'real' paint for quite a while, but I really enjoyed it.
This is a gouache sketch on 305 x 229mm cotton Not paper, with a little bit of digital retouch & adjustment when I got home [not cheating is it?].
Whilst I was shopping for the outing, making sure we had enough brushes & paints, I discovered watercolour blocks! Of course I'd heard of them before but amazingly I never actually realized what they were. I simply thought the word 'block' was an alternative to 'pad' - but in actual fact, the block is glued on all four sides so you don't have to soak and stretch the paper - genius!
You learn something new every day!
