Really interesting Colin. A few things I learned 1. You put water in your pallete and then added the paint, giving much softer and more realistic colours than doing it the other way round like I have been doing. 2. I liked the way you did this sky - more subtle dabs than laying down a big wash of wet in wet colour which always goes wrong for me. 3. You constantly think in layers and "tomorrow" rather than trying to do it all in one go. 4. Flat brushes with a fine edge work particularly well on urban scenes where a delicate touch might be needed. I'd be more than happy to call it finished after one session so it should be really good when done. Cheers Martin

Glad it’s been so helpful
So helpful like Martin Webb said. Your explanations while adding paint and why to your mixes was great.
Ah that’s great to hear Julia
Thanks for the thorough explanation
You’re welcome!
Looking forward to part 3.
