Another watercolour...

Since moving to the new apartment, I've been really having fun with watercolours. Part of the reason for this is that my pastels haven't been unpacked yet! However, I have a pile of photographs that I intend to paint in watercolours over the coming weeks, and I'm having a blast doing so! This is from one of Poppy's photos (so thank you very much for letting me use it Poppy!) I'm pretty happy with this, however I think the back of the boat is too large. Oh well!

At Ease with the Going Tide, 11x14 inches, 2008 Watercolour

For the purposes of comparison I painted this same boat in February (6 x 8 inches) when I was just starting to play with my watercolours:

I think the form of the boat is better in the one from February, but the colours are better in the new painting.
