This week's subject was flowers, I chose to paint just the one lily and a few leaves.
Today I went outside taking photographs and I noticed the same colour theme outside, these are my rescue hens.

My favorite building

This week's EWW subject was to paint our favourite building.  I have never been to La Sagrada Familia but would love to, it is on my list of favourite buildings to see one day.  Being in an experimental mood I did a few things with this painting that I have never done before.  1. add some 'hidden' raised shapes. 2. use a different support instead of watercolour paper.  Having seen some famous artists who have their experiments on cardboard in museums, I thought why not? 
I have other experimental plans up my sleeve.

This little experiment soon found a new home.  I am planning to do some more.
