Thank you so much for explaining so many techniques in such a clear and helpful way. Amazing seeing the process and beautiful end result!

Glad you enjoyed it.

I think this worked really well - what a pleasant scene! I particularly like the harbour wall - just a simple wash, but with the lifting out and the verticals scraped out with the palette knife, it reads like there's so much going on - and as you say, without painting any detail. Thanks again for sharing your work!

Thanks Mark, glad you got the point of the demonstration. Don't get bogged down with detail and your watercolours will look fresh and spontaneous.

Thank you, had a go and really enjoyed it. Less stressful that’s for sure…

Always try to keep things simple and you'll have some fun trying new ways to paint. Best wishes.
