Artists learn from other artists. Imitating work of other painters whose work you admire can be very useful way how to acquire necessary painting skills but also how to build your own style.
Here I try to imitate winter landscape painting from Terry Harisson (Painting Watercolour Trees The Easy Way, page 106)
Trying to follow instructions written in the book masking fluid is used. I didn´t catch every detail unfortunately the colour of shadows is little bit overdone by violet.
At least in the beginning of learning process can man absorb very much from watercolour techniques landscape image which is already interpreted by author. Colour, hue and morphology of the land is simplified. Main outlines are highlighted, insignificant details omitted.
The beginner is often seduced to paint every detail and he drowns the painting in them.
Painting by artificial light.
Paper- Canson, Moulin du Roy 300g/m2, Schmincke Horadam tubes, masking fluid.
