Early morning here in australia and just finished a short session working on the second stage of working on dry.  I want to become freer but I also want to work on more contrast too.  Must leave it for now as we have a busy day ahead but hope to return later today.  Will work on more sturdy paper once I am more confident with the new techniques.  I had felt that my previous watercolours were becoming too overworked for the illustrations that I am intending to produce and made the decision to 'educate myself' on some key skills.
