A couple of wee watercolours

 


I have completed a couple of postcard sized watercolours using Derwent graphite tint watercolour pencils.

The one above is of a stone cottage with a rusted corrugated iron roof and a small ruin beside it at Talmine Beach. The one below is of a stone ruin beside the road between Altnaharra and Hope in the Scottish highlands. The colours are a bit distorted by the interaction of the light in the cottage kitchen and the iPhone camera.

On this trip over to the cottage I have been  attempting to record a few memories in a different art form. I'm still learning   how the colours transform when the water is added to the pencil colours.
