I really like the Winter bleak feel to this and the colour washes are great

Thank you Stephen and Heather, appreciate your feedback. The photo hasn’t transferred to the gallery very well, looks a bit drab compared to the original.

Wow, Fiona - that is so good!! It made me feel chilly just viewing it!!

A very well drawn tree and I like it cropping out from the page… Delicious coloured bracken/foliage.

Posted by Alan Bickley on Wed 04 Feb 16:05:08

That’s a common problem the colour transfer. Super greys in this one Fiona.

A cracking painting Fiona , love that tree and the colours in the snow

Thank you David, very kind. Thanks Al! I was a bit disappointed with the tree’s to be fair, they could be better. I use the excuse of not doing watercolours for a while. 😉 That explains the colour variations John, the colours are richer and clearer in reality. Thank you for commenting. Thanks very much Paul! My tree’s aren’t a patch on your own examples.

Recognize those scraggy bushes anywhere! I love your technique Fiona, so casual, so spot on.
