I did multiple glazing for this watercolor to achieve the depth you can only get through this method of painting. The piece was inspired by scenes of the African Savannah, with it's vast unspoiled areas of grassland dotted with acacia trees that are indigenous to the area. For those who follow my blog on a regular basis, you know by now that I love to paint tonal landscape scenes depicting dusk, sunrise, sunset or dawn. I love the light at that time of day. I was rather pleased with the end result of this watercolor.
No wonder you are pleased Jean this is beautiful

DeleteWhen I saw the painting on my blog list I thought, "It looks like Africa." Then I read your commentary and it was Africa! Is that a sign of a good painting or what?
