A very busy complicated scene that you have worked your magic on Seok, it's a wonderful watercolour.

Fantastic work as always Seok. I’m just about to order some wc paper and was thinking of Arches cold pressed Not. Your “ rough” doesn’t seem to have a visible texture. Would you recommend it for eg portraits? Or does it depend on the size of the work?

A perfect watercolour, beautifully done.

Thank you very much, everyone, for your very kind comments! Marjorie, I think it is the iphone photography that hasn't really captured the texture of the paper. Arches Rough has quite an obvious texture, and I found it very conducive to the few portraits I've attempted. The washes take longer to dry, which gives me the time to ponder and make corrections where necessary.

Once again Seok you have caught the atmosphere perfectly. Brilliant work.

Posted by Fred Elwell on Thu 20 Oct 15:07:21

you can almost hear the hustle and bustle. love the light and the way the shadows fall too!

Posted by Sarah Perry on Thu 20 Oct 16:37:02
