Yep, works well. I particularly like the dry brush work.

Great textures

Yes Fiona. Limited palettes can work really well. I find light red a really useful colour in watercolour. I have not used indigo much so interesting to see them working together.

Impressive Fiona.

A super 5 minutes very well spent!

Lovely work, Fiona. Amazing that just two colours can create such an effect, and it actually makes it more pure. I particularly like the swirling sky, and just the hint of warmth in the hills. Nice one!

Excellent for 5 mins, Fiona - and using two interesting colours!

Posted by Anne Fletcher on Fri 06 Oct 21:17:36

A great use of 5 mins Fiona, ‘fast and loose’.

Posted by Stephen Slater on Fri 06 Oct 21:33:31

For a quickie this is excellent and the two colours go together so well Fiona.

Like the dry brushwork!

5 minutes very well spent!

They do work well together that’s a fact… good little exercise!

Great result Fiona!

Beautiful composition! Laconic and powerful.

Love this, Fiona, great colour combination - and the textured white in the foreground makes it sparkle.

Watercolour in sketchbook (Saunders paper) Indigo and Light red. I was showing a friend how you could use just two colours to get a fairly reasonable landscape/seascape, with a bit of mood to boot. Love this combination of colours.
