Watercolour after Rowland Hilder

Watercolour

An imaginary sunrise created from a ‘colour beginning’ of Naples yellow, my favourite colour. I quickly brushed in burnt umber and Alizarin and watched it ‘flare’.

Watercolour

Inspired by a painting by John Tookey. I love the way the hedge line takes you on a journey across the page. I started with the house and made up the rest of the scene from my imagination.

Any excuse and I’m out on the mud recording boats. This painting was made during a demonstration of ‘wet into wet’ techniques for an art group.

This experimental painting started with a ‘colour beginning’ that gave me the feel of a large expanse of mud and pools of water.

Loose colour washes and a limited palette bring depth and a sense of calm to this imagined scene.
