Watercolour: Tone Exercise

One of the things Olivia got for Christmas was a nice set of watercolour paints and brushes, and a step-by-step watercolour book, which will teach her some of the techniques unique to that medium.  Yesterday, she had a go at one of the exercises in tone in the book, and created this lovely piece, all done in tones of brown. You can really see where the light is coming from in this painting - lots of nice shadows. (She copied, more or less, one of the paintings in the book, with a few changes.)  Expect to see a lot more watercolouring this year!
