Original artwork description:

Upwey ridge sunset, Dorset
Copper, gold and bronze sky,
Custard yellow sun,
Ancient nature reserve,
High tops before the sea,
Peaceful and beautiful.

Words and feelings of seeing this in past times.
Original expressive watercolour on extra thick watercolour paper bockingford cold pressed 425gsm 200lb.
I used graduated sweep of different subtle colours. Gradual blending for the sunset sky. Then the hill ridge I used earth tones using a three colour technique.
I always stop off on route from Weymouth and look forward so much, if I am lucky to see a beautiful sunset sky.

Materials used:

Extra rough textured watercolour paper acid free bockingford 425gsm 200lb, filbert brush, sable hair brush, Chinese hake, Holbein watercolours,
