Finished piece coming next.

Practicing movement and texture through this loose head and shoulders study. Focusing on the interplay of light and shadow within the curls using wet-on-wet techniques. There's something so satisfying about how watercolour blend to create depth. #hairstyles #wedding #sketchbook #hair #bakumaart
The Moor in Falmouth, once a marshy area with a stream flowing into Smithick Creek, was drained and developed in the early 19th century as the town expanded. It served as a military training ground during the Napoleonic Wars. #bakumaart #urbansketchers #falmouth #cornwall #sketchbook #watercolour
