Here are the Spanish Steps in Roma with Eileen enjoying standing with the Azaleas, which will be one of the subjects of my watercolour painting. The other is of the Jacaranda tree, which grows in the street in which I live. This will be the subject of my second watercolour painting.
 I have discovered that I like to work on more than one painting at a time, even if they move at a slow pace. One of the things that I don't compromise on with my watercolours is the use, or should I say the non use of white paint. By allowing the white of the paper to reflect light through gives a much more natural 'light' feel to the painting. Neither do I use black watercolour paint as my view is, that black is the complete absence of light, which cannot occur in a natural setting on Earth, so my blacks are a mixture of dark colours and can be given a hue to suit the situation.
