Day 1. Laying down the sky, sea, and sand
Day 2. Blocking in the huts.
Day 3. Starting to add details and foreground vegetation.
I'm still finding working in watercolour very challenging. It's extremely frustrating to find that adding details after the paint is dry is damaging the paper. The use of masking tape is also lifting the earlier layer of paint, and, in some cases, a layer of paper. I bought low adherent. I think I will resort to masking fluid from now on, even though that's quite difficult to control.
