Great mountain scene .

Beautifully painted Christof! Great drama in this majestic scene!!

Wonderful watercolour, Christof. It is really nice of you to explain your technique and colours you use. Many thanks.

Do like it. Very atmospheric, great sky and really well painted.

Lamsenspitze (2508m), Karwendel, Tirol, Austria. 76x56cm, Watercolour on Arches rough, 300g. To paint this full size imperial watercolour I made a detailed pencil rendering first. For the rocks, illuminated by the late afternoon winter sun, I used Naples Yellow, Yellow Ochre and Light Red. The areas in the shade I painted with a watery mix of Ultramarine Deep and Light Red. For the snowfields I reserved the white of the paper. The sky and most of the foreground I painted very loose, all wet in wet. I’m quite pleased with the outcome of the finished painting. Hope you like it too!
