At the beginning of the year, I set myself a challenge to paint a Watercolour every month. I decided to pick a theme of North East scenes.
Here's January's Painting - a scene taken from Hadrian's Wall in Northumberland looking out from one of the Milecastles.
Here are the progress paintings (slightly paler as they were taken on a different camera). I Washed the blue over the whole paper then washed some yellow ochre over the ground. I was going to put more detail into the wall as that was the focus of the scene, but after leaving it for a while and coming back to it, I decided to leave it where it was.
I hope you like it!
Gillian.
