Rustic Pots

watercolour 30cm x 40cm


I found this selection of jugs and flower pots on a shelf in the gardeners' cottage on the Wimpole Hall estate and thought it made a nice found still life.

Wimpole Hall is a national trust estate just north of Royston, which we visited last weekend for the first time. It is quite a large estate with a beautiful mansion and is also popular with families because of its working farm.


The paper I used was Saunders Waterford rough. For the paints, I chose a limited palette of Jacksons cobalt and ultramarine blue, raw siena and Winsor & Newton permanent alizarin crimson.
