I quite enjoyed painting this watercolour. It is interesting what comes into your mind as you paint and see things in the watercolour. One of my Patron's has been painting some beautiful seascapes with yachts in them and I think that is how that popped into my mind when I saw this seascape.

Rives BFK etching paper. Probably best to source this from your local store so you can look after the paper and not have it posted unless you are buying a large amount of paper and it will be looked after. There is nothing worse than getting hundreds of sheets all with a indent in them. Having said that you can actually source this paper from amazon:

Some people have been extremely happy with the state of the paper when it arrived (and some not!)
I love this paper it is soft and lights are lifted easily from it.
