Swallow's Rest by Leisure Painter

Painting is a lovely hobby and you have made a great start Steve. The key when using watercolour is to lay fresh, clean washes of colour onto your paper then allow to dry before over painting. Try not to over work an area that is still wet. Allow to dry and then apply a darker colour. I can see where you have mixed colour on the paper resulting in your greens loosing that fresh look. Having said that after just four weeks painting with watercolour this is still a exceptionally good painting.
