| Horizon shine watercolour on paper 18x18cm ©2016Lisa Le Quelenec |
This very wet and wild winter has been inspiration for some more stormy watercolours. I used Arches rough paper for this one a complete change to the hot press I usually use. I liked the way I could scrub the pigment into the pits of the paper staining it and then blot off the peaks of the texture. I was trying to capture all the beautiful colours in this particular storm and the way they all sparkled. The sky at the horizon was a very warm and dirty yellow which was exquisitely set off by the turquoise sliver of sea.
Good morning Lisa!... simply.... "sparkling"... in all of its aspects! Joyful and peaceful to look at! A safe feeling harbor from the storms...
ReplyDeleteBravo...
Good Painting!
Warmest regards,
Bruce
Hi Bruce, thank you. I like that you find it peaceful to look at the storm painting. It's the big exhale as you see it move away - just the reaction I was after. Best wishes.
ReplyDeleteA beautiful 'juicy' watercolour!
ReplyDeleteThis is sooo beautiful! Love the unexpected colors and how you have kept them all so clean :)
ReplyDeleteHi Judy, thank you!
ReplyDeleteThank you Rhonda, I'm loving the photos from your trip - a good adventure methinks even if it was cold.
That water is a delight to behold, it really is sparkling, not always easy to achieve in watercolours Lisa.
ReplyDeleteHi Caroline, thank you. The light is becoming more and more important to me so that comment means a lot. Best wishes.
