Rocks by the river. Watercolour sketch.

Postcard No 32: Life by the River

Today I turned away from the river, crossed the road and focused on the rocks. There are some steep hillsides along the Huon Highway and not far from our home is a small section with some really nicely coloured and textured rocks.

I used my small watercolour set to capture a section of the rock face trying to leave some of the white of the paper. As usual I probably didn’t give enough thought to this as I’m used to being able to add the light bacjk in with my acrylics and pastels.

I do like that I got the colours and suggestion of different textures in the rocks and grasses.

I plan to persit with watercolour sketches for awhile and see if I improve because I really do need to improve!

My mantra is always …practice, practice, practice…so now is the time to see how much I can learn and grow in watercolours through daily postcard sketches.

    Lindy you have captured the rock face beautifully.
    Love your idea of doing postcard size.
    I can always be improving for sure 😊

      Thank you Loretta. Watercolours are difficult for me so the practice is good!
