Why I paint

Landscape painting gives pleasure, at least that is why I paint. Being able to catch the moment of surrounding world provides great satisfaction. I am absolutely self-taught about the painting, in other words grown up enthusiast. I believe that for this kind of relaxation is never too late. Blogging will help track my progress as an painter.

Malování krajiny mi přináší radost a proto vlastně maluji. Schopnost zachytit okamžik, odlesk tohoto světa přináší uspokojení. Z hlediska malování jsem samouk - nadšenec. Věřím, že nikdy není pozdě začít s malováním, tak jsem začal. Tento diář by mi mohl pomoci zachytit a dokumentovat můj vývoj.

Nightfall in Trebic

When I went from work a lovely evening scenario by the river caught me. I was absorbing that feeling of deep blue darkness coming from the top of the sky and warm light from distant buildings reflecting in river. I made a photo from my smart phone and later at home painted this picture by day light. However, it was difficult for me to create the deep heavy darkness by watercolour medium.



Material used:  L'Aquarelle Canson Heritage (Hot pressed) 300g / m2 -23x31cm, 100% cotton. Colours: Schmincke Horadam ultramarine finest mixed with sepia brown. Bright and warm tones was made by lemon yellow with cadmium red light and occasionally I added Venetian red.
