Another sketching trip with a couple of friends to a farm cafe in the Cotswolds, complete with adjacent alpaca herd. We had booked a table for lunch in the delightful courtyard garden and spent a pleasant few hours chatting and sketching.
The original drawing and initial watercolour washes were done in situ, but I planned to add a bit more detail when I got home. I made a complete hash when I tried to add a background sky, then added more gouache which made it even worse! The solution - use a strip of the same colour paper from a blank page, cut round the shapes of the umbrella and background foliage and stick it over the offending area. Total disaster averted.
