Landscape Watercolor painting - Final - 15 x 22 inches - Island Mist
This is the finished landscape watercolor painting and is called the Island Mist. It is based on a photo I took during my trip to Mayne Island on board of the BC Ferry. Mayne Island is an island in British Columbia between Vancouver and Victoria Island. This landscape watercolor painting is done on a 15 x 22 inches ( half sheet ) cold press watercolor paper using Winsor and Newton Artist watercolor. A background tonal study using Burnt Umber is put on initially and then the variious watercolor pigments was applied in layers. See my previous post for the Burnt Umber under painting. The colors I used for this painting mostly consists of Ultramarine Blue, Winsor Green, Burnt Umber and Alizarin Crimson. Basic watercolor wash as well as dry brush technique is used as well as splattering and salt effect.
I absolutely love your job. I have recently “discovered” you, while looking for examples of watercolor paintings. And I must say…I’ve been wanting to paint for so many days now, but have not had time. I enjoyed your many chilli peppers, and am now inspired to paint, at least a little a day.
I think I may also try to paint a small piece every day.
Keep up the good work, and continue to inspire others, as you have inspired me.

Thanks for the positive comment. I hope the joy of watercolor catches on with you as with me.
