Ashford in the water2 by Stephen Slater

I think I like pen and watercolour more that watercolour alone.

Thanks John, they are certainly fun to do and it stops you overworking.

I agree the looser feel , and the pen work, works so well. Really like this.

Lovely quick and loose painting, Stephen, i like this style. -

Many thanks Andre and Cesare.

Super.....what colours did you use for the water here Stephe, please?

Thanks Fiona, I think the blue of the water is Ultramarine, the bridge reflection is Raw Sienna and the trees reflections are mixtures of those and Burnt Sienna, added while the Uktramarine was still wet. Just noticed a face in the water, the eyes are the bridge arches and the nose the central column, with the mouth the little light below, all accidental.

Wow. This is lovely. More of these I think.

many thanks Gudrun.
