Comment on Joff's justice Ned POV by cabepfir
What do you mean by "to dob"? Sorry but I'm not a mother tongue.
It's quite usual to leave unpainted bits in watercolour, as the only white available for you there is the sheet

Ah but you see I was always hopless at leaving white when watercolouring, so I'm a bit jealous!
"Dob", a bit like "dab." Dabbing the brush on the paper, your placing of colour seems precise and measured, and relaxed and easy at the same time, and this in spite of the difficulties of watercolour itself, (which is hard to get precise, it tends to "blob".)
Dob is combining "dabbing" (as in dabbing a brush onto paper) and "blob" making blobs of colour. Hence "dob". Sorry it's a bit of word play that wouldn't make sense to a non-native english speaker, but often I don't realise I'm doing word play.
Basically I like your technique.

Thanks for the explaination! I looked for "to dob" in my dictionary, but I didn't find it, so I was obliged to ask
In this I used ecoline for Ned's tunic, and when I added watercolour to it the paper didn't accept it well
On the other hand, I'm happy with Ilyn Payne, especially with his expression
