I am currently working on my third assignment for the watercolour course, trying to paint a sunset on a river nearby. The Grey challenge has been really useful to help me work on values and see more clearly some aspects of the composition and things I’d like to improve.

I will probably gift this to one of my dr.s who has been an amazing support for me. Danielle KantolaShades of grey. Aww…I wondered what a rain-soaked gnome might look like.
