Slate mine cottage Blaenau Ffestiniog Snowdonia by X X

Really love this one David, so atmospheric.

I like this very much. I love the rain effect and the typical stone cottage. A very atmospheric place. You have captured it well.

Have to agree this painting definitely works for me. Lovely skill with the washes.

Absolutely beautiful painting. The way you have done the foliage is marvellous. How did you do it- I would love to know. Very good composition. Bet you're proud of this one!

Great watercolour with superb control of the medium. Like Thea I find the foreground shows a masterful technique and a lovely wet in wet sky.

Hi Thea, thankyou all for your lovely comments. The foliage is first done in a wet into wet way dropping in colours and different tones of green. Let dry then paint positive and negative bushes and also use a brush on its side to get dry brush affects. let dry, then with a sponge soften off at the edges. Sorry i did not reply earlier, we are framing and doing the admin for our Exhibition at Penrhyn Castle at Easter.

Lovely atmospheric work.

Beautiful, loose, expressive and charming
