Original artwork description:

Sunrise over pasture
Walking the dog early morning in November,
The violet clouds moving gradually away,
To let the pale pink and yellow light come through,
Silhouette of the ethereal tree line,
Pale sap green in the short grassy field.

Words and feelings of my experience of this inspirational moment. November skies can be so moody and beautiful. This is a local scene on the outskirts of Shaftesbury where I live.
Original impressionist watercolour on extra rough textured watercolour paper bockingford 425 gsm 200lb. I used my Chinese brushes for this landscape painting. I wet the paper all over, created a pale pink and peachy yellow wash first and then a purple to violet then blue for the clouds. I then created a horizontal line and pressed, dropped the paint onto the line to create the silloutte of the tree line. I made a sap green for the field and then etched the paint out with my finger nail for the grasses.
