Outdoor / plein air sketch. Tall grass growing on the banks of the river Hafren / Severn (Newtown, Powys, near Hafren School). Pen and ink, watercolour on watercolor card. A result of my day excursions around Newtown.
A little picturesque village along the beach and on the hillside (nicknamed by kids Balamory), river estuary, white sails and a terrific view. Our favourite beach in the area. The original painting have been done on a warm september day in 2008, during low tide, while kids were busy splashing in shallow warm pools. Quite a lot of beach sand turned out to be incorporated in the picture…
After selling the original picture I played a bit with color to make this print more “impressionist”
Done with the pencils and ink on paper on a very calm overcast day when a huge snowflakes were slowly falling from the sky. Turned out to be a bit Japanese I guess. A lonely figure with an umbrella is standing on the suspended bridge. 03/02/2010 Newtown, Powys, Wales.
