30x30 Direct Watercolour - roots

When working through a daily challenge, I find it almost impossible to develop a theme. I need more time to think and explore. So, expect all sorts of crazy things showing up in my work for the next month.

Here, roots, inspired by a set of trees and mucky ground somewhere in Kenmare, in the West of Ireland. I had to do 4 versions to force myself to let the first layer dry a little before adding more. Used a little bit of rubbing alcohol for extra texture on two of them. Some of my darks got quite heavy. I have lifted them to give the trees more definition, but didn't get a chance to photograph them again, so you'll have to believe me!
