WDE - Watercolour efforts from the last month.

These are my efforts for a couple of the WDEs from the last month.
I have not been doing a great deal creatively.
I am working on an Oil Commission that is taking up my creative time but when it is done I will be able to get back to painting and drawing regularly, and participating in the WDE, which I love to do.

WDE Oil Painting - Amber.

Unusual for me to paint an oil painting in one sitting.
I was inspired by the Oil painters on WDE that finish thier paintings in the one sitting and thought I would try.
Although not a bad effort, no where near the standard set by the other members.
This is 6 x 9 on Oil painting paper. Took about 1hr 45mins.
