EDM 90 Something With Wings


I started this in watercolour, it didn’t work, I spat the dummy and brushed a large red cross through it and folded the page in half in disappointment.  Hillary (ever positive) encouraged me to salvage it, maybe try gouache, so I did.  I bought some tubes of gouache many years ago when I learnt calligraphy and I only had 5 colours to work with on this ‘resurrection’ – prussian blue, lemon yellow, deep lake red, white and dried up black.  Can’t get the fold out of the page, but you can’t see where the big red swash was, so not a bad recovery I thought.

Wow, what an excellent recovery.
I am glad you kept it.

Thanks Hillary, what would I do without your encouragement. Don't know.
