Yes, with watercolour you need to plan ahead and you succeeded in the most difficult media.

The clarity of the water and the movement of your swimmer Francis makes this such a remarkable painting. Good luck with it.

One of three paintings I have entered in the TALP Open Competition. Watercolour Painting, Approx size A3. I love the challenge flowing water presents, to capture the movement and reflections. Here the added challenge of strong sunlight hitting the water droplets meant I needed to plan ahead and mask out every drop. When I finally removed the mask the picture came to life, like flicking a switch. I will try this technique again sometime soon.
