Using only reds, yellows, and blues, limited the pallet with which we could work. Everyone created something unique, and made a good attempt at capturing the mood of the sunset over the Houses of Parliament.
I had great fun, not even attempting a straightforward copy. For a start, I made the sky stormy and added the building in a different place. At one point, I forgot where the Thames began and ended and just used my brushes to create an effect. Kate, our Tutor, said mine was very Impressionistic.
It looks quite good in a frame - my first watercolour.
We worked on dry paper but next week we're going to do some skies and seas using wet on wet technique. Then I can have a go at creating a watercolour version of Longshore Fishing.
In the meantime, I'm going to adjust the colours on the acrylic version, before adding the details.
