RHK

I'm getting towards the end of the Direct Watercolour challenge for this year (and yes, at this stage, I'm about 4 weeks behind in my blog and 6-7 weeks behind on Instagram). So when we went to IMMA at the Royal Hospital Kilmainham, I sketched in direct watercolour in the formal gardens, then I felt the need for ink and markers when I went inside the courtyard. I'm forever pulled between different techniques, forever experimenting.

Then a quick sketch, which probably would be better if I added watercolour. But it's done now.

 

And yes, the walls were green on that side of the courtyard, but I had a lovely red marker, and also the walls were red on the other side, so my sketch is not a complete lie.
