Poole Harbour watercolour by Gabriella after Ray Balkwill

I painted a Poole Harbour scene after following a Ray Balkwill exercise in his book. I used similar colours and his boat in my scene. I was only working on a small scale again. My own style comes through quite strongly and it has none of the looseness that Ray's work has. I'm happy with it though as its ok to be me.

Ray Balkwill Watercolour Exercise from his book by Gabriella

Exercise from 'painting landscapes with atmosphere' by Ray Balkwill'. I used a lemon yellow with a cadmium yellow and a raw sienna. Blues were winsor and manganese and reds were a rose and a cadmium. I painted this at too small a scale really and mention the improvements at end of video
