Painting watercolour out in the field is great fun

Being out there, seeing the view, dealing with the changing light and putting down the colour in whatever the weather is always a great adventure.  To complete a watercolour requires focus, economy and decision-making.  And the results have an energy that really only happens in the field.

But there is work to be done

Wrestling with colour, washes and brush work can be overwhelming.  There is some work to be done to be able enjoy the work out there.

Watercolour is simple

Washes are immediate and direct.  Colour in water flows easily, it is delightfully mobile.  This makes watercolour a fun medium.
This also gives watercolour a reputation for being difficult to use.
