My dive into watercolour...

I took a one day course not long ago on watercolour painting because I figured it would be a lot less material to cart around when travelling. Also, watercolour is a lot less messy and then there's the problem with acrylics in needing an easel and being able to place it in a good light. I realized at this course that I could actually use watercolour more or less the same way I use acrylics. It's certainly a reasonable way to paint since you seem to use so little paint.

Just to try it out I used a painting I had done in acrylics to copy.
