I tried out a quick sketch from How To Draw People For The Artistically Anxious by John Bigwood for day 4 of #worldwatercolormonth to see if it was as easy and quick as promised. It also fitted in nicely with the prompt which was Patriotic.

A simple shape in watercolour with a few lines, brought this happy conductor to life. I used a brush pen to add the lines, as they are a little more expressive. By this I mean pressure will make the line thicker or thinner and when you have few lines to play with, you need them to work hard for you.

My conclusion? You can do a lot with a splodge and a few lines!!
