Afternoon out by Sharon Van Der Veen

Afternoon out
Comments

Lovely, gentle watercolour Sharon, you have caught the tranquility of the scene very well.

Thanks for looking and your nice comment Stephen. I find painting in a cemetery very tranquilizing, glad I managed to transmit the feeling in paint.

I agree with Stephen: this oozes tranquility - as such places should. Pure watercolour! Love the spring(?) palette. I take it the darker right hand side is a photography issue?

Thanks Kim, appreciate your comments. For some reason my camera would not take the pale palette; ignoring all the pale yellows, it only picked up the blue tones (might not be the camera's fault, I'm not particularly handy with it). Eventually tried it with a flash, resulting in this dark shadow on the right.
