A few days back in the Lakes and what better place to visit, than beautiful Borrowdale valley. Walking from Grange towards Rosthwaite is pure joy especially with the last of the Autumn colours and a touch of morning frost. This little part of the Lakes is such a wonderful walk, along the riverside, with fells sparkling in the morning sunshine. The river which is called 'the Upper Derwent' the most beautiful river, the colour of the clear water ranges from emerald to bright Greens to Ochres.
I see watercolours and pastels all brought to life. But we were wandering up the river in search of Salmon, scrambling along quietly gazing into the crystal waters.No fishing rods or paints just enjoying the sheer beauty of this special place and nature.
I am going to paint this wonderful scene in watercolours, with just a limited colour palette I'll keep you updated on how it goes.
If you would like to learn to paint in watercolours but unsure where to begin or what brushes and colours to use, the Online course is a perfect start www.watercolourcourse.co.uk With lots of feedback and easy step by step I will show you all the techniques and secrets I have learnt over the years.
Can you see the Salmon? Not in this photo but the colours in the water are so pretty.
