River Itchen by Lois Gravely

A sort of Eric Ravilious touch - like it, it's a fresh and clean watercolour sketch.

A super little study - it has a real sense of the season about it.

Love the limited palette - its cold out now for plein air but great feeling when you do manage to get a sketch done. I tried last weekend but didnt finish as I made the mistake of trying to use too much colour to catch some warmth, I wonder would a hot bottle on a belt have helped ! bought some fingerless gloves so will get out again soon !
