The great thing about your watercolours is that while you use these techniques in, eg, clingfilm, you don't have to rely on them - your paintings would still be fabulous, and the use of such techniques is an intriguing optional extra. The colour in this reminds me of David Cox, my favourite watercolourist of the 18th/19th century. looking at it even more closely, you use really quite pale, restrained colour - and still achieve strong, defined images.

I like the balance and composition,the muted colours give it harmony
