Water margin


Recently my kids Hannah and Jack and I built a pond in the back garden so I guess I have been inspired to portray some aquatic life but in a way that stretches me artistically. And what better painting medium to portray water than watercolour? (Well, plus a touch of gouache too for the reflections). Nice and impressionistic, this was painted on Langton smooth, 300gsm paper.
