Original artwork description:

My love for sunsets
Ethereal and beautiful,
A mirage before me,
Goldenest,
Amber and earthy hues,
Glowing all around me.

Words and expression of a Winter Sunset reflecting over Wincombe lake just over the border of North Dorset into Wiltshire.
Original expressive watercolour on high quality watercolour paper bockingford 425 gsm 200 lb.
I used a wet on wet technique using a delicate build up of back washes making sure the paper is wet before applying the paint. Allowing the colours to merge on the paper using a Chinese hake and moving the painting by tipping horizontal then lying it flat.

Materials used:

Extra rough textured watercolour paper bockingford 425 gsm 200 lb, Windsor and Newton professional watercolours, Chinese hake, filbert brush, sable hair brush,
