A quick landscape  painting in watercolour, a rare event for me, but one I quite enjoyed, certainly much quicker and easier  than acrylics ,but there is always the problem of framing watercolours having to protect them behind glass and the resultant reflections , this is to me the big benefit of acrylics, no glass not even a frame if I paint the edges to complement the face image ! no reflection the image is clearly visible from any viewpoint.

I used photos I took many years ago when I lived in Orkney, and this was a favourite place to walk my dog, the beach at Evie a fabulous place to watch bird life I recall vividly the sound of long tailed ducks in winter and the myriad list of waders I spotted here
