Thursday in Halifax

Me and Ella

I'm in Halifax with Rachel and Matt and my darling little grand daughter Ella! We are having a wonderful week, it's a treat to help out when I can and to share this very special time with them.  I know the time will disappear far too quickly for my liking! 
I brought some travel watercolours with me to play with during nap times etc.  I've been experimenting with them on a specially prepared canvas instead of watercolour paper.  It's interesting to get the feel of how it behaves; it doesnt' quite flow the same as it does on paper and it takes quite a bit longer to dry.  But it definately has possibilities, opening up an option for using watercolour and not needing mats, glass and frames for hanging afterwards. this sounds a great option to me. Here's this in progress experiment, thus far.  The travel set doesn't have a big selection of colours just a few basics, but it's been fun playing with the medium again.
