Original artwork description:

Fonthill lake, Wiltshire
Violet light in the sky,
Ethereal trees,
Calm and stillness,
Over the water,
Beautiful reflections and ambience.

Words and experience of being here.
Another enchanted place I can escape to and it’s a lake I have spent many times walking alongside it.
Original impressionist watercolour on textured watercolour paper cold pressed bockingford 300gsm 140lb.
I soaked the paper and used wet on wet washes along a baseline technique. Each time I applied with the different shades. I tipped the colours while the paper was wet to create a feathering whoosh effect upwards and downwards.. This process needed a lot of control of pigments and water.

Materials used:

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