Original artwork description:

Duncliffe hill Sunset, Dorset
Many colours in the sky,
Cerulean blue, purple and orange,
Dramatic and ancient hill,
Mesmerised by this landscape,
Grateful to see this in early March.

Words and experience of a recent walk along Castle hill from Shaftesbury to see the view.
Original impressionist watercolour on extra rough textured watercolour paper Fabriano 300 gsm 140lb.
I used a wet on wet watercolour background using a three colour technique. I applied the backwashes with a Chinese hake and worked expressively. I used this scene from reality and went into my visual memory. I was so happy to see some lovely dramatic colours in early March. I get so enthralled by where I live as there is so much history, beautiful scenery and energy. I have lived in this area for over 50 years.

Materials used:

Extra rough textured watercolour paper Fabriano 300gsm 140lb, Peobeo watercolours, Chinese hake, sable hair brush, small fan brush,
