This watercolour was an exercise in being expressive over realistic though clearly I have a steady hand and an eye that keeps my compositions quite contained. Inspired by a winter forage in my garden and Esther Deansโ โNo Dig Gardening & Leaves Of Lifeโ .
This piece has been drawn using artist quality watercolour pencils on Archers 300gsm hot press, hand made paper.
The drawing has been painted over with water. This process has been repeated several times to achieve the deeper, vibrant colours.
