The latest sketch of my foray into watercolours. Can you tell what’s depicted?

I’m still lacking control of the finished product (I always know what I want but rarely how to achieve it) but having fun nevertheless.

I’m finding it fun to use my instinct and available resources. My brushes aren’t very good but most of the nicest effects I’ve achieved so far are from using bits of plant stem or leaf as brushes. I also used a knife to cut up the paper in places, but that’s less evident in the photo than in reality.

The green grid pattern is meant to represent the protective wire around the two sapling trees (yes, that’s what they are). I achieved it by cutting out some mesh from a garlic bag and making a stamp.

Update: I see now that I should have made the background layers leaner in places so that the thicker paint in the foreground wasn’t muddled. And perhaps I should have been more patient with drying times. Hopefully I’ll remember all this next time.
