Original artwork description:

Peaceful winter trees
The dusk to twilight sky,
Purple hues and burnt umber
Peaceful time,
Trees are bare and resting,
Lamorna valley, South west Cornwall.

Words and feelings of an inspirational winter holiday over Christmas and New year staying in Treewoof, Lamorna valley.
Original impressionistic watercolour on textured cold pressed bockingford tinted watercolour paper 300 gsm 140 lb.
I love the colours of winter and the structure of the trees. It was mild in Cornwall had to shelter a lot in the valley as the winds were strong, so I felt all the elements. I used a dragging and pressing technique over graduated washes.

Materials used:

Textured watercolour paper bockingford tinted 300 gsm 140 lb , Holbein watercolours, Chinese wolf hair brush, Chinese goats hair brushes, Chinese hake, filbert,
