Looks like you had a healthy lunch Shirley, Were you trying out different papers? I like the top one, the colours appear to be stronger and the watercolour has settled better into the paper.

Hi Fiona, thanks for your comment! Actually they are both exactly the same paper and paints. But I was working on them both at the same time.

Always good to experiment Shirley, just keep those lovely washes flowing.

Experimenting with washes is always such fun and your washes are exciting Shirley

Thank you for looking, Gudrun, Fiona, Alan and Lynne. I have ordered some more Chinese brushes, and am looking forward to more experiments, and insights.
