Especially like this... those colours are magic. Are they really watercolours Jo? What make please. They look like the inks I use. <br />In fact I wish I had done this.

Who would have thought that a few squiggles and washes would produce such an original painting, love it!

I agree, it&#39;s a smashing painting, love the freeness.

Beautiful use of lines, with a gorgeous palette. A really delightful piece.

For those who asked... these are really cheap intense watercolour. They look like a childrens plastic palette of 12 colours, and I tend to use up only 4-5 of them. They mix and spread well. I don&#39;t mix in a palette, but on the paper. If I don&#39;t like what happens, I just flood with water and blot off. It usually just leaves a very light stain.<br /><br />Sylvia... I think &quot;magic&quot; is the word. I can&#39;t remember where I came across these, there are some others in a round palette, but I think those are ink, whereas these are described as watercolour. They are sooo cheap, I just buy several boxes at a time, and use the colours I need. One day I will paint with the others. The blending is magic as well... mix a violet with orange or red, and the resulting brown is amazing. I made the pint for the crevettes by using yellow, orange and red, and just adding colour satin, then removing until it came up &quot;crevette coloured!&quot;<br /><br />Anilinky. www.koh-i-noor.cz.<br /><br />I hope they are lasting colour... not so sure, but very satisfying to paint with.
