Colour!

I've finally taken the plunge into colour: watercolour to be exact. And surprise! It's frustration all over again. Now that I can finally sketch something (when I have a reference) and be half-way happy with my sketch, colours have snook up on me and slapped me in the neck.

Gradient?  Highlights? Shadows? Arrgh!

Anyway, here is my first oevre: I only spent five minutes or so sketching it, and then a looong time swearing over the watercolours ;)
