Old Barn , near Betws-y-Coed , North Wales

Here the sky was done in two washes, first cobalt blue was used to form the white clouds , then allowed to dry. I then re wet the sky and brushed in Neutral Tint and angled the paper to get the rain pointing at the barn. While this is was damp i dropped in the brown mix of the distant trees.

Superb painting David.

This is a beauty, full of atmosphere, loved the muted colours too

This is an example where i have looked at a painting done a few years ago and decided it needed further work.

A lovely painting, David!!

The sky is very effective, a lovely painting.

Thanks for the technique description. I’m really interested in other watercolorists ways of working. You’ve really captured exactly the look you wanted too.

This is perfectly portrayed as a deserted barn with the elements strongly in action. Thank you for your description of how you painted this David. Very helpful. Love to see good watercolours but just never got the hang of painting them very well.

Very atmospheric, David. Super!

Excellent indeed… a superb watercolour!

Keep trying Carole

That's a cracker, David, really works tonally, love it

Thank you everyone for your very kind comments

As always, a fabulous example of a true watercolourist at work David. Stunning.

Stunning.
