I think this is a nice lively sketch Amanda, shows the blustery conditions well.

It's a fabulous sky Amanda, and I think you've captured the mood of the day well.

Thank you, Stephen and Fiona.

What's to improve Amanda? It is delightful and oh what we wouldn't give to get some of this lovely calm weather back now after the absolutely crazy storms we have been having more recently!

Reposted with daylit photograph ~~~~ Unfortunately, this is from a photograph (it's half term - no painting expeditions while I'm in charge of the kids - and I'm not in Cornwall at the moment). But hey, I'm working on my watercolour skills, and this was a quick sketch - done entirely with the pictured acrylic brush - in the spirit of plein air, albeit done in warmer, drier and decidedly less windy conditions (I took the photograph in December; it was quite wild, but not as wild as it has been since). I am kind of pleased with it (doesn't watercolour work well for reflections?), but that doesn't mean you have to be nice about it. Tell me what I could improve.
