Water Colour Diversion


Water colour painting provided a welcome alternative to referendum thoughts on polling day.

This is the second day I’ve spent with local artist Celia Olsson experimenting with water colours. My hope is to develop a better colour sense and learn interesting painting techniques.

The palette is much the same as I’ve used with acrylics: ultramarine blue, cerulean blue, burnt umber, burnt sienna, raw sienna, gamboge (new for me) and lemon yellow. But no white and no black.
