Just a simple watercolour of a Robin perched on a spade handle. This was another of the monthly painting challenges set for members of my forum.
I'm not a great watercolour artist because I take no notice of what sort of paper I'm using nor what brand of paints are in my palette or their quality. Over the years I've found that my watercolours don't really look any better or worse depending on the materials used, only on how good or bad my painting has been.
I envy those artists who can tell the difference between various materials but I have to be honest and admit that the choice of paper and paints is something that's never really interested me. That said, it is a totally different situation with pens and pencils. I do have favourite drawing papers and I most definitely appreciate the quality of the pencils and pens I use, and maybe I'll comment on those in my next 'drawing' post.
I guess the above explains why I've always favoured graphite and ink work over watercolours.
