More attempts with watercolour. This time while on holiday in the Dolomites in the Autumn of 09. All of these are in the area of Ortisei in the Val Gardena and actually painted from balconies on the villa we were staying in! I'm getting marginally better (well, braver) with applying colour and am relatively happy with these but the reality is that I don't paint often enough to make significant improvements.

The night-time sketch was of moonlit clouds forming up in the Pitzberg mountains. This was incredibly dramatic at the time and even a bit creepy, just needed the cry of a werewolf to complete it. BTW the little bright dot to the right is Jupiter.

The others are looking up the valley towards the Sella Gruppe and are effectivly the view from the kitchen window!

Went all went on a day trip to London last Sept. I had intentions of doing all sorts of scribbling and drawing but once I'd done this sketch of the pillbox at the end of Putney Bridge tube station the pad never came out again. I guess I was having too much of a good time or something.
