Frosty Sunrise

Superb snow scene Ann- I can feel the cold !

Lovely work Ann the treatment paid off with a beauty

Thank you so much, Lynne and Dennis. Yes Dennis, I was harsh with the paper, but somehow it paid off!

Lovely soft colours, Ann - especially like the sky - and interesting composition.

Well done, Ann. This is a wonderful composition and I love the texture you've created with the paper.

Thank you very much indeed, Jenny and Wib!

I love this painting Ann, it's beautiful :)

Maria, thankyou very much, I appreciate that.

If it's a decent paper it should stand rough treatment Ann, and this has stood up to it superbly, a great atmospheric painting.

Wow, thanks for that, Alan! And to think it nearly ended up in the bin........hence the rough treatment to get it to behave! I won't be so afraid to show it who's boss in the future then.

Yes you have to try and boss them Ann well done

Very nice watercolour, Ann, and lovely sunrise. Lovely atmosphere too.

Thankyou so much, Cesare.<br /><br />Ha ha, Dennis.......I didn&#39;t know that before!

I love the sky Ann and the granulations of the washes, it&#39;s a beauty. I use Jackson rough paper for my pen &amp; wash paintings, it stands up to alsorts of scratchings.

Thankyou very much, Fiona. I hadn&#39;t used Jackson&#39;s paper before, and because it wouldn&#39;t go right, I really scrubbed it hard, yet it still took the washes afterwards without minding at all. Very impressive! So it&#39;s nice to hear you confirm it does the same for you. Good stuff!

Love your washes Anne

Lovely work Ann , beautiful use of colour

Lovely washes and glow in the sky Ann, a super snow scene.

Thank you so much, Michael, Dermot, and Val. I&#39;m so grateful for everyone&#39;s comments, as I never thought I would ever paint anything worthwhile. And as I said, this one was due for the bin before I turned into a bully with the paper!

Beautiful sky Ann.. and the scene certainly has that frosty morning look.

Thank you very much, Chandra.

Beautiful palette, Ann. Gorgeous sky.
