Some Watercolour exercises about 4" x 6"

Sand practice

Tree practice

Background practice 

I am very appreciative of all the Youtube teachers. In particular I'd like to mention the following sites:

Louise de Masi

Mind of Watercolour

Melanie Howard

In The Studio with Michelle Webber

They are all excellent instructors and sometimes have posts such as "10 common mistakes beginners make" which are always very helpful.

The right hand edge of the paintings is cut off but it is really only the white border.
