I’ve lost track of when I last got my watercolours out. It might have been as long ago as June 2020, when I did the 30 watercolours in 30 days project and then took a rest! Anyway, I brought them with me to Cumbria and managed to get them out today for a bit of en plein air painting.

This is the result, a view of Skiddaw across Derwent Water. The most exciting part of this painting process was when I sharpened my soluble graphite pencil and realised the shavings had added a light spatter across the wet areas.
