Watercolour beach house

I wanted to give this painting a cold feel as the photo I used as inspiration caught my eye due to how cold and hostile it looked. I spent a while adding extra bits to this painting and I'm concerned I may have overdone it, I know less is more but it's hard to keep away!

Couple sketch

I had an idea for an illustration that I had to get down on paper quickly when I had the chance. I spent some time sketching it but have lost momentum for now.

Surfboard watercolour and ink

I painted these in watercolour and used ink to outline some of the features. The first image is the initial sketch with a quick a5 test on the right and the final piece below.

Giraffe painting

I spent some time sketching animals recently and this is a watercolour painting of a cartoon-like giraffe. 

Watercolour rose

This painting was a watercolour experiment. My friend asked to keep it so it is safe and sound in his lounge now, which is quite nice!

Watercolour scene

This is a watercolour of a scene that I made up. I'm not particularly happy with the grass in the foreground, but I am currently experimenting with styles so I guess it is a learning curve.I have uploaded one of my initial sketches and the final piece is below.

Parisian scene

I painted a Parisian scene in watercolour and used black ink for outlines to give it more impact.
