Good morning all.
I had a chance to paint a bit over the weekend, trying the same scene on two different papers. This is on Arches CP, using Maimeriblu paints, size about 28 x 42 cm.
Once the Fabriano one is complete, I'll post that one. Thanks for having a look. Please feel free to comment. All the best, Mike

Beautiful painting, Mike. Is this a scene from S. Africa?

Re: First cast
Celia, thank you for your kind comments.
Bill, thank you too. To answer your question, yes and no. I've seen a number of similar scenes, but this is possibly an imaginary, distillation, from memory.
All the best, Mike

Re: First cast
Debra,
thank you so much. I've been enjoying getting back into watercolour.
It will be interesting to see if the same scene on a different paper will be the same, better or worse.
All the best, Mike

Re: First cast
I look forward to seeing the other painting on the different paper. Personally, I have found a huge difference in painting the same scene with a different paper, so I hope it works the way you hope! (As if watercolor is ever the same, which is half of the fun)

You're right Debra, 'controlled accidents' is what it's sometimes about.
All the best, Mike

Maribeth, thank you. I think my skies are what I enjoy the most. Need to work on the rest a bit more.
All the best, Mike

Re: First cast
Robert, thank you. It's good to experiment, as what suits me might not work for you.
Tommy, thank you for the comments, I hope the scenery looks vaguely familiar.
All the best, Mike
