Sunday Watercolors; 10 min San Fransisco sketch

It's Sunday and I'm here to share another watercolor with you:

I'm back to practising "loosing" up and here's an exercise I set myself - a timer ticking and my painting should be done within 10 minutes - it's good because it helps you not think too much about (unimportant maybe) details.

If you want to see more of my watercolors you can either click the "My Watercolors" button in the top list or in my Watercolors file on Pinterest; http://www.pinterest.com/peppermint42/watercolors/

 (OBS - the paintings there are not only by me, though I wish because I've collected some true favorites)

Have a great Sunday, Hugs, Karin
