The Green Spring
When Spring comes
I see the woods turning green...............
i've started making lots of green colour swatches with watercolour and gouache and have made a few plein air woodland sketches this week ...it is a difficult challenge for me .
with the project in mind i also decided to start exploring a few demonstrations of a wonderful book called "The Tao of Watercolor" by Jeanne Carbonetti , which was recommended to me a few years ago.
i'm posting my first attempt based on Jeanne's demonstration of "The Atmospheric Landscape"
"woodland scene"
i'd like to thank Jeanne Carbonetti for her kind permission to post my WIP
here is the link to Jeanne Carbonetti
As part of my watercolour and gouache course work my next project is to paint a spring woodland scene or to paint a painting expressing a poem by SHAN-MAI which starts

If that is an "attempt" I can't wait to see what is to come! That is really, really beautiful! It radiates. It is kind of half abstract/half realism. Very interesting and soothing to look at!
Fabulous
