I am enjoying working from my little sketchbook, so I have stopped using the Doodlewash optional prompt! Well, almost.
This image is a little bit of MWNT in Wales. when the tide goes out you can walk along the bank of the river to the pub! I have struggled to paint this picture many times and so I have really tried to simplify the sketch in this small watercolour. In the interests of Doodlewash, world of watercolor month – There is some vegetation in the image.
I like the poles sticking out of the ground. This was a favourite device of Edward Wesson to indicate water by showing the reflections in water. I think this is what drew me to the scene in the first place and in my previous attempts at the picture the thing that has got lost.
I may try to create this image again but with the horizon lower on the page to really get the vertical-ness of the poles to shine through.
Food for thought,
Day 9 compelete.
