Landscape Watercolour of Lymington, 15" x 11"
A pretty, Georgian market town, Lymington is situated on the southern edge of the New Forest, between Southampton and Bournemouth and at the western end of the Solent. Apart from the placement of the buildings, I 'invented' the boat, car and people. My source photo I took had little interest and the painting needed a little action. The shadow on the left was very dark pigment and some water dropped in to make it less boring hopefully. I also simplified the background - there was far too much detail of windows and structures on the buildings.
