The knack of making watercolors

Vincent van Gogh to Theo van Gogh, from The Hague, 20 May 1883

Among the blocks I ordered with Rappard's money is also one for watercolors; I tried it at once, a cottage in the dunes with a wheelbarrow, etc., in the foreground, and a small figure of a digger in the background. Oh, Theo, some day or other I shall surely get the knack of making watercolors.
