Watercolour painting. Dove cote.

Had a good class today. My students are producing lovely paintings. I reassessed my watercolour painting of a friends Dove cote today. I have had the painting standing at the end of my kitchen over the weekend. I find this very useful. It helps me decide what works well and the areas that need changing. I darkened the shadows directly below the shrubs but then took a drastic step. I did'nt like the tree trunk in the background, it had'nt worked, so I removed it. I am now much happier with the painting.
