Two watercolours on a Winter Solstice theme, look for the badger in one and the fox in the other.  The top two are on Saunders Waterford 425gsm (NOT) which is a beautiful paper to work on and very tolerant of wet washes. Below is an unfinished acrylic version of ‘January Sun’ on the wall behind (the yellow will be softened with some rose glazes). That was painted on Bockingford 425gsm (NOT) also a paper in a weight that can cope with wet work and without being stretched.

This coming week workshops resume. Looking forward to some loose ‘winter flowers’ paintings.
