Tranquility

An old house off the Main Street in Varadero, Cuba. My first time trying Hahnemuehle paper.

It's beautiful Seok. Lovely composition and the colours blend really well. The papers have a beautiful texture. I print on them.

How lovely. Wish I was there !

Beautiful colours and scene Seok! I love how you have let the colours dribble down the hillside. Excellent !

Gentle, loose watercolour, Seok. I've been to Varadero, over 20 years ago - I think it will have changed a lot. Very apt title because it is tranquil

A very apt title Seok it does look a very peaceful and tranquil place. The colours are beautiful.

Lovely depiction of what looks like a lovely place.

Nice painting nice composition nice pallet , another Seok special and a winner,well done mate .

Superb composition, and well drawn and painted as always Seok

Your watercolours are so fresh, lovely artwork

Really beautiful painting Seok, your perspective is faultless too.

Sumptuous colours and washes Seok......delicious!

Beautiful work Seok, love the way you've loosely painted the foliage.

Love the colours and washes in this, and of course a great composition again.

Beautiful ! Great composition and light transparent washes.

Am I mistaken, but are you also using a different palette? Brighter? You seem to have no trouble with the paper. Gorgeous painting.

Thanks very much everyone! Sian, I don't think you'd want to live there! Cuba under embargo was pretty stark. A beautiful place, but everything was in short supply for the Cubans - not much food, very few basic necessities, just about everything was in short supply, nothing, nada. We collected our hotel soaps and shampoos for our hotel staff because it wasn't easy for them to obtain their supplies. Gudrun, yes, I felt like I needed to get out of my green rut. Was experimenting with allowing the colors to mix on the paper. Not for the fainthearted, but I am glad I tried it. I was quite pleased with the results.
