'Knitting Circle'

Knitting Circle

Watercolour & Gouache

24 x 31cm

This one was finished over the New Year break (no rest for the wicked). I thought I was going to have an absolute nightmare with making the blanket look woollen but it turns out my continual glazing technique works really well when it comes to soft fuzzy texture. At some stages I even just brushed clean water over the top of the blanket squares just to soften edges when drybrush wasn't working.

What better way is there to see in the New Year than chatting with friends over a nice cup of tea and some knitting needles?
