WELSH LANDSCAPE V watercolour studies

July 25, 2008 • landscape painting • one hour • studies • watercolour

This is the final one I did. This was my best view yet! Just pure undefiled landscape. Its here you can really appreciate the beauty of God's creative power and beauty! This one was very small again for approximately one hour.

There were even sheep grazing and bleating, birds singing ohhh I'm lost for words!

WELSH LANDSCAPES III and IV watercolour studies

July 25, 2008 • landscape painting • one hour • studies • watercolour

These two were done from my room window. The sun was blazing and It was so hot I couldn't bear to go out.

I almost kill this one because the light kept and changing and I was tempted to keep changing the colours.
