Summer Squall

Inbetween the drawings, I am still trying out some new papers.
This painting was made on Saunders Waterford NOT 140lb and I'm pretty impressed how its standing up to wet washes.

I did the background washes and let them dry overnight ( I was busy!)  The next day I added the figures, foliage and statue - and there it was - a Summer Squall !

Hope you enjoy it, as I did painting it!


This painting - and all my others - are permanently on display on my gallery website HERE

    Oh, I love this Pat, really can feel the rain mixed with the sunshine. I took a photo with a similar shower from our summer vacation, and wasn't sure I could capture it in watercolor. You did it wonderfully!

    Un trabajo excelente Pat. En Mallorca no consigo este papel de acuarela, Saunders Waterford, tendré que pedirlo por internet, ya que llevo tiempo deseando probarlo. Un abrazo.

    Hi Pat. I like those wet washes, too. Soft and ethereal, they do give the impression of a summer squall.

    Ciao Pat,
    molto bello l'effetto delle figure offuscate dall'acqua...sembrano arrivare dal nulla e creano quasi una sorpresa!
    Ciao, abbracci, Floriana
