Still with the Saunders Waterford pad I've painted this sunset. Prepared the colours first, that is the main thing, and plenty of it. I did a very light pencil sketch of where I wanted things to go, like the distant hills. Then put over the whole of the page clear water. As the paper is rough and quite thick, I let it start to soak in and then added another layer of clear water to make sure.
Likely I went into this too soon, some of the paint spread further than I intended, but then it was fun to do - and to watch. Next time I will try to be more restrained, and hold back until some of the 'shine' from the clear water, has gone from the paper.

I like the look. Fascinated to see how you work
Thanks CJ. I need to do a little video or step-by-step....I'll try to put something together soon.
It's all a learning experience. Lovely colors.
I see the landscape already! <3
Thanks Cris :-)
Great to see your brave experimental work. I love the vibrant colours, and it makes me think somehow of aurora borealis.
Thanks Jez, I should try to paint an aurora borealis....that would be a good experiment :-)
