Before the rains came. by Stephen Slater

Definitely misty and rainy

Another good one, Stephen. You are very good with the wet in wet technique.

Nicely painted Stephen , you have caught the wet misty look really well.

You have captured the mood of a rainy day on the way so well Stephen.

Beautifully atmospheric - reminds me of the Lake District!

Many thanks everyone. I bought a couple of A4 watercolour pads from the Works yesterday. The price has gone up to £5 for 12 sheets but they are still good value compared to other suppliers of similar 300gm weight. I find them very good for wet in wet work.

This is just gorgeous, Stephen. I love the way you rendered the atmospheric perspective and the contrast of hard and soft edges really add just the right accents to the piece.

Many thanks once again Seok.

A beautiful calm painting Stephen.

Very atmospheric.

Many thanks, Spencer and Anjana.
