I've decided to try my hand at meeting Marc T Holmes' 30x30 Direct Watercolor challenge.
https://citizensketcher.com/2018/05/15/announcing-30x30directwatercolor2018-lets-do-30-paintings-in-30-days/
https://www.lizsteel.com/new-watercolour-challenge-for-june/
To help me get started I set out watercolor palette with DS Smith paints, Kolinsky sable and synthetic squirrel brushes, a 6 x 8 in. sketchbook (Stillman & Birn Beta series) etc. So no excuse not to sketch. I started practicing to get a feel for the paints on this paper which I have not used before. Other artists sponsoring the challenge are listed in Marc's Citizensketcher blog and have been offering tips to help others meet this sketching challenge.
I'll be posting selected paintings here. Photo of my set below.
