'' Children of Lir '' Watercolour 16'' x 12''

Once again the swans add interest to this scene Peter, lovely soft washes also.

Really lovely feeling in this, delicate swans

Dream-like. Wonderful.

Many thanks for your thoughts Stephen, Annie and Skylar.

Peter you've captured a mystical quality to your watercolour, love your chosen palette for this. I think I say that a lot about your paintings lol.

Many thanks Fiona. For all of my paintings I use just eight colours, two blues, yellows and reds combined with burnt sienna and burnt umber.from this limited selection I can achieve a huge range of colours and tones.

I'm liking these latest works immensely Peter, full of atmosphere which all paintings should have, not just an accurate representation, well done. I would possibly have softened the line where land meets water and let them run into each other a bit, just a thought!.

Another great watercolour Peter, the swans make it come to life

Thankyou very much Alan and Linda for your comments. Yes Alan, atmosphere is so important.This is probably the one area that gives watercolour an advantage over other media insofar as it is relatively easy to create an ethereal quality using watercolour.Also, I agree with your observation regarding the white line. I do sometimes do it the way you have mentioned but for whatever reason didn't in this instance.Always feel free to point these tings out to me. I will always listen to and welcome this kind of advice from fellow artists.Personally I think there should be a lot more constructive criticism.There can be an awful lot of eulogising,which is also very important, but it can be a bit sterile sometimes.

A beautiful painting to match the lovely story.

Many thanks Ellen.

Lovely work Peter, the swans look so good.
