Saltford, Bath, England, 15" x 11"
A painting based on a photo from a recent plein air trip. Quite a few watercolour techiniques are being used in this painting - the initial wash with a large mop brush, a bit of 'wet in wet' with the sky blending into the roof tops. Similar to wet in wet I have dropped clear water into the tree when it was still damp to get a cascading, running effect. I have also washed out a bit of the shadows and figures. Finally I have used some white gouache and dry brush strokes for the window details. You can overdo it with the while highlights and I was close to the mark!
