Lindy Whitton Studio

Today’s little postcard sketch captures two coots checking out the nesting sites along the river’s edge.

I wanted to catch the evening light as it warmed the tops of the rushes and added a soft glow to the water.

I’m still trying to come to grips with the little tin of watercolours. I really miss my amazing Daniel Smith tube set that was stolen while on holiday last year. I find it much easier to get the depth of colour with tubes than pans.
