On and Off

On and Off by Liza Hirst 

 Just a little watercolour sketch for today, painted yesterday on a rainy Sunday. We visited the Royal College Graduates Show today, which I found quite disappointing. Actually very disappointing! There didn't seem to be one piece of work (painting and sculpture that is)that showed either skill or originality or beauty or SOMETHING that spoke to me. Maybe I'm ignorant and just don't get it. Maybe it's really WOW for others but to me it was NOTHING! (Sorry, had to be said.)

Pierre de Ronsard - sketch

Today, just a little sketch of the same bouquet I painted yesterday. It has been at least 15 years since I did a watercolour painting and I will have to practice this a lot more but I thoroughly enjoyed it! I think it is a good exercise in staying loose so I am planning to do more in the coming days. After this one I painted three more but they didn't turn out well at all - this is the only one I dare to show you. I tried to see only colours, as few details as possible, yet enough to indicate flowers. "Letting it flow" was sooo much fun!
