Well I have not posted in a while. Had a few dry weeks when nothing went well. As you know, I like creating atmospheric scenes and this one is of a quiet landscape in the English Lake District. There are lovely old cottages dotted around the area, sometimes evoking a feeling of remoteness. There is something very peaceful about these scenes that appeals greatly to me. I used indigo, raw sienna, light red and burnt sienna on quarter sheet of 140lb Arches hot pressed paper.
Love your atmospheric paintings. They are quite moody, and thoughtful.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful painting Jean packed full of atmosphere. Good to see you back again.

ReplyDeleteHaven't been visiting for quite a while Jean but I notice a remarkable change in your painting now, you are very professional and beautiful watercolourist so all your hard work has paid off. I love this one as I know the Lake District so well and this is evocative of my memories.
ReplyDeleteMore like Scotland than English Lake District - no trees?
