We are here in Guildford for another few days, and while I am here, I only have watercolours to work in. Using a block of landscape paper I have started to try some generic ideas, I find that I am painting the view from Grovely to Fovant that I know from home, there are some basic components that I am trying to convey, mastering the palette is an important part of this, in order to convey the sense of distance. Also how to make those blobs and dashes into convincing trees and shrubs.
 The block of apartments across the meadows, built in the sixties I am guessing, stand out against the green trees around them. But the rain has set in and I cannot see that I will get a chance to draw the view.
