BigSplashySlider -watercolour surfer

After the fun I've had painting this series on a 12 x 9 inch size, I felt the urge to paint them bigger and see what came out using bigger mop brushes. This is the first of  them on a 20 x 16 inches watercolour pad. I'm excited to go even larger with them, using the bigger brushes made for looser more spontaneous washes and strokes, then using the same brush held right on the tip of the handle in a vertical position for the detailed parts made for a really pleasing painting experience. I hope you like it? Now I have to go and find some bigger sheets of watercolour paper.

Have a great day!

"Slide on!" - watercolour surfing.

 

I'm really enjoying painting these new SplashySliders, using the watercolour pigment and a mop style brush feels loose and fluid, a natural medium for trying to convey the elusive element of stylish surfing.
