A Herefordshire Winter Scene by Hilary Forbes

Comments

A lovely piece with clean, translucent washes and well places lost and found edges. All the hallmarks of a good watercolour.

Thank you all for your comments, they are much appreciated. I forgot that there is another colour - blue in the sky, cobalt and cerulean I think.

Very delicate and refined. I love the contrast between "warm" left and "cool" right. And of course, the harmony of the sky and the ground. Is it mostly plein air or mostly studio work?

Dmitry - thanks for your comment. It's mostly studio work from my own photos, but not necessarily bearing much resemblance in the end result. I have now joined a plein air group locally, so 2024 should result in more plein air paintings!

This is my favourite Hilary. Love the soft fresh paint washes and composition.

A watercolour on Magnani 1404 paper. Trying to keep to a limited palette, here they are favourite colours - burnt sienna, ultramarine violet and Schmincke's tundra violet.
