| Norfolk Mill, watercolour |
We walked from Morston Quay to Cley next the Sea on a sunny February day, stopping frequently to take lots of photos of the marshy landscape. The dark fields and bright reeds created beautiful contrasts and rhythms in the landscape. I must admit that I had expected to see the sea on our walk, but we were a lot more inland.
Incidentally, this wonderful windmill in Cley next the Sea can be rented for holidays.
For this painting I used some gouache to restore the highlights that were lost in the background. I am quite relaxed about using other media with watercolour and am not a purist about using just transparent watercolour. This is again painted on Saunders Waterford Rough paper, which takes the paint really well and keeps the colours bright.
