I have been experimenting with my painting techniques in both watercolour and acrylics.
Having neglected watercolours for some time I have begun to put some time in and am getting back up to speed, at the same time trying to push the technique on a little bit, the first study is quite tightly controlled but the second, a study of St Malo marina after a passing storm, is slightly looser in definition. On the whole I think the experiment worked, I now need to loosen up a little more, a few more studies should do it!
The acrylic is similarly less defined and is on board rather than my customary canvas, this makes the brushwork much more obvious, paradoxically requiring more precision.
