I like your wet in wet, Dermot, the misty effect and your reflections.

The mist works very well Dermot, gives an air of mystery.

Love the soft focus look of this one - the water is beautifully still and glassy.

Another mainly wet in wet watercolour you want the patience of a Saint at times with watercolour if you drop colours in at the wrong time you can end up with an awful mess ....... I remembef the great Trevor Chamberlin said ... To paint successful watercolours one needs the patience of a Buddhist monk , the strategy of a chess grandmaster and the skill of a surgeon ..... not much to aim for is it ?
