Re horse

Seeing as I had my stuff out in the conservatory (paints)! I thought I would give one race horse a try.

11 x 7 white night watercolour paints (Russian) on bockingford 200lb paper (I prefer this one)

I wish I could do feet

Race horses

The last horse race was 7 x 5 so I've tried a larger version without the pen 11 x 7 used white nights watercolours on blocking ford 200 lb is it any better ?

Another go at racehorses

Hand to try another pen and wash horse race I will get it right one day

Pen and wash rose

Had to have a go at a rose using pen and wash , not happy with it yet. Must try harder

Playing bowls

Thought I would have another go at figures so tried this bowls match

Pen and inktense wash

I thought I would have another go at sunflowers but this time using pen and inktense. I used the inktense the same way as I would use watercolour. Maybe I should have put in a bit more darks but I thought it would spoil it, but I will give it another go latter 

Sunflowers

Thought I would try out some derwent colour soft pencils and attempted this picture of sunflowers.

Still a lot to do but it is the same with watercolours the more you overlay you end up with muddy colours. I still have to master the blending of colours. I think I was a bit heavy handed to start with so making it harder to overlay.what do you think
