Getting back into watecolours, they don't take up to much space in my room and are unpredictable.

Also I like the dreamy scenes that can be created and rustic.

Finished painting, purposely didn't fill in all the sections.
This is the last of the Mannequin series, 4 of 4.
If my scanner was bigger I could of captured all the wood around the figure, which gives it space. I'll frame it and take a photo later. 260mmx350mm. Painted on Japanese White ash.
