My painting of the sketch above. The Two Moors Way

Comments

I used phthalocyanine blue in the sky. I did the sky upside down by starting with water then gradually bringing in the blue. The distant hills were done with the same colour and the Tors i added a touch of Alizarine crimson.

It has come out beautifully as a painting. I love the Misty moorland and the birds circling in the sky.

Watercolour 20" x 16" framed. In this painting from the sketch above i wanted to create real atmospheric distance. One way to achieve this is to use a synthetic pigment in the sky and then earth colours in the foreground.
