A mistake..

It might be the wrong paper but it doesn't take away the fact that this is a nice painting. I like it.

Well, still a very nice watercolour Jim

Oh yes, that paper grain is a bit harsh. Shame. Still a fine painting.

I like the colours and the loose sketching - it makes a very nice picture. Possibly the grain shows more on the photo than in 'real life' - I find this happens sometimes to me sometimes.

We can still appreciate the painting Jim. But it’s infuriating! I’ve done it with pastel paper….you live and learn.
