Mindful watercolour painting :Lilacs

 


What better feeling to pick a couple of Lilacs in flower

Sit and look at the flowers

Close your eyes and imagine the shapes
Take in the scent, bring back memories or just imagine a warm sunny day.

Try out a few colours in your palette
Cobalt Violet was one of mine

Look at the flowers take in the smells and just let the brush loaded with paint
Make a few shapes, lifting on and off the paper.

Step back and look at the beauty of the flower and paint a few more shapes with a stronger hue

Enjoy the moment.

 Dob Gill, Thirlmere

Painted on Canvas 

Size 24 x 24 inches

Sold



The rough and forgotten circuit of Thirlmere

Hidden gems amongst an old rooted path

Delights of nature around every bay

Pure and barely disturbed

Ancient footbridges

across gurgling becks and falls.
