Sue Likes Watercolour

Watercolour is something that I took a long time to get used to.


Watercolour is a very difficult medium to use, mostly because it is something that is built up in layers. It takes a long time to finish a water colour. And it is very understated, in it's nature. It is light, and gives a completely different look to other types of paint.

The cottage above, is something that took me 2 weeks to paint. It was the first time I really used watercolour. It was a bit of a learning experience. It is best recommended to an artist who prefers a sketchy look for their work. Well, that's what I think anyway. If you are experimental with your work, then watercolour may be for you.

As I have said before, I like to use a variety of medium in my work. I guess, that's what I am using my first few post for. To show a variety of what I like.
