Anne Pitts by Leisure Painter

Ooops you posted it twice. This is very good; you've brought life to a very dark photograph.I couldn't get inspired by such a dark subject. I like the way you've done the quay wall which was extremely dark and left out a lot of the mess on top. Great reflections of the boats and very good water too. Is it watercolour? Did you mask out the whites in the water?

Thank you for your kind comments. Yes, it is watercolour. The few white parts ARE masked. My initial reaction to the picture was that is was too dark to be interesting and decided to give it a lighter feel. Thank you for your comments on the reflections as I do find them very challenging, so it is nice to have good feedback.

Hi Anne, I have a a page and posted 2 paintings so far and have just tried the blogging. Thanks for your post.
