| Tranquil waters watercolour 23x10cm ©2013Lisa Le Quelenec |
The result of paint left on my palette, a mix of paynes grey, ivory black, manganese blue and what ever else was left, one brush, a no.8 round and the end strip from a large sheet of paper that had been cut down. The inspiration came from an old sketchbook that I had been flipping through. I enjoyed painting with limited means, the challenge of making each element work hard. It was one of those off the cuff moments that just seemed to work. I thought it worked anyway.....
Definitely worked,its lovely. I am yet to include river and sea scenes in my work as I over complicate matters so thanks for showing me how less is more
ReplyDeleteGreat mood and atmosphere! Simple, well-drawn shapes tell the story.
ReplyDeleteVery effective with real economy. Love the broken ripples and the long horizontal format.
ReplyDeleteYour leftover paints created beautiful greys! Love the atmosphere!
ReplyDeleteHi there Lisa!... I love all of your loose..."off the cuff" studies... because they flow... rich and seamlessly from the heart... which is the real home... for Real Art!
ReplyDeleteWell done! Flow on!
Good Painting!
Warmest regards,
Bruce
I love painting with a limited palette - and these greys are beautifully soft. The simplicity really works!
ReplyDeleteHi Lorraine, thank you. I'll look forward to seeing your take on river and sea scenes. I love the tulips in your last post!
ReplyDeleteThank you Sherrie, it made quite a change to think of the shapes made by individual brush strokes rather that building up n glazes.
Thanks Judy :o)
Hi Bruce, thank you! I'm flowing and it feels good......... :o)
Hello Lisa, I simply love this watercolor painting. The title of this painting is accurate and it make me feel such a tranquility. I like very much how you are capturing meditativeness of the sea..Have a lovely summer!!!
ReplyDeleteHi Marcela, thank you. Yay for summer! I hope you are having a lovely one too.
ReplyDeleteI live beside the Pacific Ocean in BC Canada and we have a lot of weather coming in from the west..moody skies. I really like your work!
ReplyDeleteHi Ruth, thank you and welcome. I hope your storms have passed. We are having heavy rain today and whilst it feels like thunder should be rolling it hasn't so far. Best wishes.
