Very good version Michael, the fence is very well done.

Yes Saunders is slightly off white which is the only reason I rarely use that as a surface to paint watercolours. You have great control and a lovely light touch. A truly excellent watercolour Michael.

Nicely done sir, precise brushwork and a nice feel to it.

Michael Edwards sent in his version of Colin's project saying: 'I have just bought some Saunders Waterford paper and have never used it before so thought I'd give it a try-out by having a go at Colin Steed's project in the LP . The paper is the off-white version which doesn't give the sparkle which I like but apart from that it's a robust paper and very forgiving. I also found it great for mixing washes direct on the paper. As for my attempt at the project I stuck very closely to the integrity of the photo only taking a few liberties when it came to middle ground foliage. A most useful exercise'
