Towards Alfriston - Cuckmere valley 2

Beautiful picture. All your watercolours are exhilarating.

Another super watercolour Jem, the cloudy sky really gives a feeling of depth and distance.

Yet again, a wonderfully expressive picture. They really do stop me in my tracks and almost have to catch my breath - totally awesome!

Lovely watercolour Jem fabulous sky and super capturing of the landscape

Yes, exhilarating is the word; confident use of colour and brush.

Another good one. I love the sky.

Your paintings are so inspirational Jem....superb.

I'm not sure what that creamy patch of colour is on the right, but it lifts the whole painting; a welcome touch of warmth beneath the cool sky blues.

Lovely paintings. I know this area well and love your interpretations of the scene.

You paint with enormous confidence which affects the viewer as they can relax when they view your work because you know what you are doing (if you understand what I mean). Can I ask what paper you use and what you palette was in this painting please?

Thank you all for your comments, very much appreciated. Hi Thea - paper was Bockingford 200lb, palette prob Ultramarine, Winsor Blue, Light Red, Indian Red, Raw Umber, Sepia, and perhaps Raw Sienna (all W&N - some Cotman some 'Artists quality'). One of the best discoveries I've made was using cheaper, yet heavy paper and therefore not having to bother stretching it. I use this almost all the time, though it is not my favourite paper. Cutting out laborious processes and reducing cost (you can also paint on both sides) means you feel more free to 'go for it'. By which one can learn a lot, or so I have found.
