This third image from Stage 2 is another experimental piece – still in watercolour, pen and ink but this time, I painted the paper in a very bright yellow first, before making the drawing. The lines, the sky and trees are all applied after the ground colour had dried. The image is the first one to feature the fans at the roadside, who are still out in support – albeit wearing masks – nothing hides their enthusiasm which is brilliant as ever!

Have a great day! 🙂
