A few fantasy speed watercolours

I'm happier with these. I'm trying my best to stick with the 12 colour travel set of watercolours I started with, even though I gave in and bought a larger set that's seducing me with its array of shades. With these I have drifted back to my old fantasy standbys to see how they'd work in watercolour. Some of the shading is lost in translation to the computer but I'm still pleased how they've each worked. The last is my first time working with lamp black - which never came in my set, but I bought separately. I just started throwing it down with a lot of water and if I'm honest a lot of the things I like about it are accidental. The name came from looking at it for a long time and seeing something in it that I never intended. Again they're all speed watercolours under 15 minutes each. I'm not quite confidence enough to put a long time and effort into them; yet.

Side note; I hate the way blogger lets us post photos, so the titles for the first three - left to right - are 'Against The Sky', 'Galactic Beauty Queen' and 'Farsight.'
