ON THE HILL this is the title of this new piece ,.........completed today , all my blues and dark greens were out , and of course that touch of yellow for the sky , this one has a very worked sky .I wanted to bring the beauty of the day ending , On The Hill... is a watercolor 16x22 inches ,and is a full donation to a school thats building a study wing for their students , .........
I had great fun with the sky as I am sure many will guess , for those who like only one wash on a sky with watercolor this piece is then not for you, as its sky is done in the classical watercolor method of the 1800 s , where the sky was always the drama of the piece . The skies in those years were worked on, wash after wash , to create a dramatic effect for the viewer of the art .
Its a simple piece with many washes and much time waiting for the washes to dry , and times just going brave and working at it , ........with a waterolor you can plan all you would like however its never going to come out how you have it in your mind , this piece I am very pleased with ,as an artist ....there are around 6 colours in that sky , compared to the simple wash of just one color ,......enjoy it as I have ,.......
