After doing a very loose sketch, here's the finished "studio" painting. It's approx 15"x11" watercolour. It proved to me that I've got such a long way to go in terms of handling tone and colour-mixing. Instead of naturally reaching for a particular paint pan, I'm scurrying around and get impatient to work out what I should be doing. As a result, I end up choosing something wholly inappropriate and then try to adjust everything else to compensate for my error - and on it goes.
I saw this scene on someone elses blog (Rob Miller) and instantly recognised the location. I drove over and completed my sketch onsite and then came back to do this bigger piece.
