Spencer Trickett

Superb watercolour Stephie, so simple yet capturing the detail!! – ive never had the courage to use watercolours – not very forgiving are they! Ive always stuck to oils! :)
Stephie Butler replied

Many thanks Spencer….You should try them, no courage needed, just let them work and don’t try to control them to much…..and have fun experimenting, you will surprise yourself…
