Watercolour Challenge 52 (Patreon)

Here is the next stage of our latest watercolour challenge. We're looking at simple basic washes, and how important it is to look at how colour fades in the distance. Even close up, this basic wash stage requires a light touch to allow us to add all the details next week.

The reference photo is attached to this post.
