You are right Rob. The light works really well. I though initially that it was digital art, but I am impressed with your watercolour skills.

A simple peaceful scene made to look absolutely stunning! Such a range of natural greens and highlights, with the sunshine breaking through. And some leaning trunks and branches at an angle is a master stroke! Another beauty, Rob.

My eye just travelled upwards to that lovely blue sky. Great perspective and feeling of joy comes through.

Thanks everyone! Most of this is a combination of sap green, lemon yellow and Q Gold, applied after a lot of masking of the trees to lay down the sun and sky. It didn't start to look right until the darks went in, and that was a lot of fun across the whole painting!

Light always brightest the darker the shadows. Super skilled wc!

Excellent painting Rob, watercolour at its best. I am also a pure watercolourist as well.

Watercolour, 38 x 56 cm. Light through trees is so beautiful, but it was a challenge to paint! I'm getting to really enjoy painting 'into sun' works like this - in this case, I think the nearby darks of the leaves and branches helps the brightness of the sun.
