Original artwork description:

Peaceful walk
Earthy violet, dusky pink and creamy sky,
Ethereal Christmas tree,
Hill slope,
Two birds in flight,
Winter.

Words and expression of a walk in North Dorset.
Original expressive watercolour on textured watercolour paper bockingford 300 gsm 140lb.
I used a wet on wet technique with Holbein watercolours. I wet the paper all over and applied the sky colour washes. I tipped the paper to let the pigments feather down from the sky then lay flat. I find this process very satisfying and meditative.
Then with my Chinese brush I draw with the paint the Christmas tree while the paper is wet. I paint a hill line when the washes have dried using a filbert brush made of hogs hair. I leave areas of light with sweeping brushstrokes.

Materials used:

Textured cold pressed watercolour paper bockingford 300 gsm 140lb, Holbein watercolours, Chinese brush, filbert brush, small handmade Chinese brush,
