It really blossomed in beauty, good job. Have you tried Daniel Smith's green gold? I find it quite interesting, especially in this type of painting.

[@TimWilmot]

I will have to look that one up! Sounds interesting. Thanks Dave

Thanks for sharing your skill.

Thank you very much!

[@ikogan3753]

Very nice watercolor! I noticed you have used limited colors. Could you name the colors on your palette ?

[@TimWilmot]

I will do on the next one. They sometimes change!

[@peterjlewis9497]

I have to say this Tim, I was always taught, with watercolour, to keep the washes fresh, the fewer brushstrokes, the better. You tend to dib-dab so much in your work. For instance, in this video you used 31 brushstrokes to paint a simple path which could, have been done in two or three stokes. Can you please explain why? Personally, I find it somewhat distracting and overworked. Comments please. To help beginners. Thank you.

[@TimWilmot]

I was not counting but the path is a key feature in the painting, lots of colours, values and textures. For me, in one brush stroke, I wouldn't bring out the textures of all the different elements.
