Original artwork description:

Old oaks , bluebells, Wiltshire
Remembering past walks,
A perfect day together,
Blue sky and sunshine,
A Spring walk at Rushmore,
Immersing ourselves on the edge of the bluebell woods.

Words and memories of a beautiful place to be in nature.
Original impressionist watercolour on cold pressed watercolour paper 300gsm 140lb. I used a four colour technique and wet on wet background washes. I used pics that I had taken. I have been to this area many times to get a feeling and sense of place.
I used my sable hair brush for the washes and for the trees. I used my filbert brush for defining the oak trees and I pressed, dabbed the paint on for the bluebells and mark making. Etched out the paint with my nail for the grasses.

Materials used:

Cold pressed textured watercolour paper 300gsm 140lb Bockingford, Windsor and Newton watercolours, sable hair brush, filbert brush,
