Floral fancies

Hello everyone, and welcome back to another week of loose watercolours! How’s your week been? Good, I hope.

Phew. November’s here.

Hello everyone, and welcome to another loose watercolour week! With Bonfire Night yesterday, and Remembrance Day this weekend, it seems like Christmas is just around the corner – which is both a terrifying and an amazing thought.
