Using a watercolor pouring technique for the background, I developed this image of a village on top of a hill. After I sketched the buildings, roads and trees I poured the very runny watercolors all over the paper and tilted the paper so the colors would run together.

I like this one a lot Terry. The colours have turned out very vibrant. Is it tricky not to end up with a muddy mess?
I think I will try the technique myself when I have some watercolour paper.
Nice to hear from you travelingsuep. Have fun with this technique.
