It's a good place to start Billy and you will experience many emotions along your watercolour journey. I like the way you have overlayed your washes to get the depth of some of the tones.

Thanks Fiona. If I'm honest I struggle with putting this stuff up. I know I have a long but interesting and rewarding journey ahead. I also know these are far from the finished product but on the other hand I really do need the feedback. Thank you

Billy this is certainly not a bad start. I love watercolours, however I also appreciate how difficult and frustrating they can be, but keep at it.

Most people give in with watercolours but it is certainly worthwhile to keep trying. Well done Billy.

Don't worry Billy, I know of very few if any people who haven't struggled with what is acknowledged to be the most difficult medium. You're on a good start and keep practising.

Thanks Derek. Appreciated as always
