Amazing! just Amazing! Lois Davidson's Zitat: "For me, the most important rule in watercolour painting is, that there are no rules."

This is so beautiful

Beautifully done , there are no rule only the one we think were there but it’s ok to ignore them. I have never seen a book or even a list of rules for watercolour but I’m sure someone will disagree.

Beautiful artwork.

Thank you very much Tanja- I’ll remember that.

Thank you very much Thea.

Thank you very much Paul. I’m glad.

Thank you very much Stephen.

Rules are for fools, break them ad lib - provided you don't endanger yourself, or the viability of your painting: those are the only rules that matter. This is lovely, and the Rector of Stiffkey, I seem to recall, got into all sorts of trouble and was mauled to death by a lion he was (obviously vainly) trying to tame. This has absolutely nothing to do with your painting, it's just that the name immediately evoked the memory.

Oh dear! Thank you very much though Robert. I’m glad I haven’t been too rebellious.

Beautifully done!

Beautiful!

Brilliant work Julie. Outstanding painting.

Rules are made to be broken (although I don't think they are rules) and this is very good

Thank you so much for your encouraging comments Jenny, Lynda, Andrew and Heather. You all seem to agree that I shouldn’t worry about rules!

A beautiful result - delightful!

Thank you Cheryl, that’s very kind. 😊

Thank you very much indeed Anne.

Thank you so much Spencer.

Great painting Julie- love this style.

I got to scratch my hollyhock itch with this one! It’s not possible to paint here from life as it’s on a busy road with no pavement, so this is from my own photo. I broke some rules, I know, but hey! Watercolour, gouache and ink.
