Moving so far away from what is normal for me and trying to imagine how Mr Casson would see a particular scene really was hard work!
Below are two of the three watercolours I worked on over the weekend; these are BIG this one is on a half sheet of Arches 300lb cold pressed!
This one was painted en plein aire otherwise known as "outside" ;-) on a hot windy day, on of those days when washes dry so fast (that's my excuse and I am sticking to it!)
Anyway these are 'finished' or so I was told!
As I said it was really difficult for a detail oriented painter like me to paint in an almost abstract style.
Difficult but lots of fun.
All in all I learned a great deal
Thanks Nan ;-)
Both of these are beautiful. The subtle transition of tones across the first canvas is especially successful.
ReplyDeleteI think these are worth framing Alan!
I saw a lot of myself in your words, Alan. I really have a hard time backing away from adding too many fiddly lines. I like these paintings, though I'm too much of a detail person to ever do this sort of painting myself. --- Larry
