Loose Watercolour - An Exercise for Beginners in Buildings on a Canal

I always find it weird that painting loose is harder than being tight, but it definitely is. Really effective contrast with the shadows - for the ones where the colour has lifted a bit with the shadow wash, i'd restate just a couple of the windows like you have in the middle one.

I think I am sloppy when I paint loose because I'm trying to work quickly... lol I'm no a very fast painter!

I definitely find working loosely a challenge. Will have to keep practicing.
