This was a tough session. The weather was awful and I got soaked in the cold November rain, I was not in the right frame of mind from the onset. I thought all my sketches were disasters but looking at them now, the next day I see that it wasn’t a wasted evening at all. My watercolour technique is slowly improving, I’m getting a better feel for the medium, all it takes is – practice, practice, practice. I don’t mind, it’s what I want to do. It’s a great hobby.
