Starting a new watercolour landscape – White Horse Hill

April 27, 2020.Reading time less than 1 minute.

Here’s the start of a watercolour I’m doing today – as with many things it is not finished yet but is just part of the way… Here is my starter drawing of the view from White Horse Hill. It is the view from just above the white horse itself – and looks out towards the […]
