I have a large collection of old jam jars to keep my brushes and which I use as water containers ...posting a   quick sketch of a few watercolour brushes in a jam jar with no preliminary pencil sketch .

  1. Gorgeous, Jane. I love the way the background colours blend in the subtle shadows behind the brushes. They really draw you into the painting.
