25th June, Farmleigh

Not getting the results I was hoping for today. My initial attempt to introduce gouache into my first painting just did not work. Suggest trying new techniques at home first before bringing on the Plein Air day. The subsequent attempts I Was hoping for a line and wash, but not with the results I want. I think the ink work needs to be bolder and with more detail, and the watercolour, less detailed with less pops of colour (less paint).

Future exercise, smaller page, more line, just 3 pops of colour
