30x30 Direct Watercolour Challenge Complete

Yes, in case you've been waiting with baited breath you can now relax. I have completed the 30x30 challenge, and  managed to complete the 30th direct watercolour sketch on Weds 30th. By way of a reminder, a direct watercolour is one painted with no preliminary sketching in any medium, direct onto the paper. This is the 3rd time I have completed the challenge in 4 years - I didn't try last year. Here's the paintings.
