Beautiful work Alan. Sunsets are so difficult in watercolour and this is lovely.

Beautifully done Alan , I really like the looseness.

Thanks guys… wet in wet is such an exciting way to start with watercolour if you’re a beginner.

Super sunset.

Always admire competent water colourists as I really struggle with this medium. The example here just shows what splendid results can be achieved in watercolour.

He's done it again! Thing is, I DO believe Alan when he says this was rapid - it wouldn't be rapid if I'd done it, though... There are decades of experience on view in this watercolour: the knowledge of where to put things, which is so hard to acquire, and so vital.

Lovely work Alan, as George has said, Turneresque.

Posted by Stephen Slater on Thu 23 Mar 17:07:00

I agree ref the Turner touch, Alan. Great impact.
