Early Morning in the Bush

I have just completed a five day watercolour workshop with Herman Pekel as my tutor. Herman is a great Australian artist and an excellent teacher. Here is one of my paintings from the workshop. It's 21" x 14" watercolour on paper.

Ruby - Yes, I am very lucky to have been able to attend a Herman Pekel workshop. So far as tips from Herman:- paint loosely; let the water do the work; paint big; only do two washes with w/c and don't waste the first one i.e. let some of the glow from the first wash show through; always find an excuse to save some white of the paper!
