A watercolour Folly

March 25, 2021.Reading time 1 minute.

A few days ago I was out drawing at Folly Bridge in Oxford. If you have seen my last post you’ll know I have been working up a couple of drawings and starting a watercolour of my sketch. This is pretty much where I ended up last time… And here is my slightly more finished […]
