Having a go with watercolours

I've been wanting to have a go at painting again for a while now and whilst away I spotted a very reasonable set of little acrylic tubes and something I'd never seen before - watercolours in a tube. At £3 a set and £2 per canvas/watercolour paper pad, how could I not give it a go.

I sketched out a design whilst we were away and decided to have a go with the watercolours last night and tonight. It's been 10 years since I've painted anything but furniture or walls, demonstrating a wash background to a class of year 2's really doesn't count. With all this in mind I'm rather pleased with the result...
