Quick sketch

Although I do paintings large and small on canvas using acrylics, you may have guessed by now that I enjoy Watercolours too.  At the moment I'm working my way slowly through a collection of watercolour paintings, which I intend to frame and sell.  These I will share here eventually....but be patient I don't intend to hurry them.

In the meantime another part of watercolours for me is Sketching.  Sometimes they are roughly done quick notes (for reference later) or they turn into a more detailed watercolour - but still a sketch nonetheless.  It's strange how a rough sketch, that barely looks like the subject, can actually remind me of what the place/object was like at that time.

Here's one that probably fits in between rough sketch and detailed...okay lets call it a loose sketch ....I actually love painting these.   I do a quick pencil outline and then get to enjoy the feeling of the brush and painterlyness (I know, that isn't a word...but it is Sunday and that's the mood I'm in...so painterlyness it is)  :-)
