Don’t Go & more sketches

Today the sun was out and my painting area is flooded with light. I’m on the cold & flu tablets, stuffy head and sneezy, but for the first time in ages I felt like breaking out the watercolours. So I printed out the sketch and transferred it roughly to some cruddy watercolour paper that I didn’t care about screwing up (my decent watercolour paper stocks are running low). I was actually really nervous about painting with watercolours… yes, I know, I’ve used them for nearly 15 years, but I haven’t actively used them for over 6 months. The last personal watercolour painting I did was back in September 2011!
