Today I did something I have never done before: I painted a watercolour painting based on an old oil painting. It is a portrait of my Zealand House completed last year. I didn't think it was very successful for various reasons. I've painted oil paintings based on watercolours a few times but never the reverse. What happened, I think, is that the details were not there for me to fiddle with and that is a good thing for the watercolour.
