This measures approximately 31 cms by 21 cms. The paints are as usual St Petersburg White Nights watercolours, but the paper is Hahnemuhle Andalucia Rough.One of the titles set by the tutor for the Easter break was "Shadowdance". The sun was unusually shining and late in the day it slanted at a very low angle into the conservatory. Sharpening a few different coloured pencils onto a sheet of white paper allowed this composition.
I have tried really hard with the shadows here, dropping colours into the still wet wash to try and make them more interesting. Also transparent or semi-transparent paints have been used to try and avoid the mud.
It has been very well received on Wet Canvas; let's hope it is well received at Art Class on 21 April.
