Drawing in Bath

Went into Bath for the day to do some more drawing and to try out my new set of watercolour paints. There weather wasn't too good and there were heavy rain showers on and off all day so drawing outside was a little difficult. I managed to get one drawing kind of finished and the rain hitting the page caused all the colours to flow together, making the drawing seem wet. Started to go real loose on drawing objects in the distance, and began to remove the line. The cars in the background are just blobs of colour but the position in the composition should hopefully communicate what the marks are representing.



The paper i was using was not very absorbent but this gave me the ability to influence the paint for a long time after it was initially applied. The colours spread all over the page and the fibres of the paper has created a texture that looks like rain or mist.
