Did not know this technique had a name. I've seen a few watercolors along these lines and it is a very effective technique well executed by you.
Jean
Great work!
Tu chiamalo pure 'semplice studio', cara Jane, sta di fatto che hai saputo creare un'atmosfera molto interessante, mescolando, definendo e poi sfumando sapientemente i dolori. Ciao e buon fine settimana. Luigi.
Dear Jane,
So lovely! Congratulation. If Turner is there, he'd be happy to make friends with you!!
Cheers, Sadami
This is so pretty Jane , very slightly London foggy, the atmosphere is beautiful and the execution perfect.
I live just 60 miles from London, in the countryside, and near to the coast. But I do have to go to London from time to time and I have to say, I think this painting is absolutely superb! You have captured the place so well! :0)
Very well done. I like it.
Bravo ! very beautiful exercice, great atmosphere.
Wow Jane this is great! I love the haunting atmosphere. It kind of reminds me of the setting for a Sherlock Holmes story.
Una veduta preziosa, Jane... sei bravissima, ogni volta è un incanto vedere le tue opere!
Jane, davvero molto bello questo scorcio di Londra, magnifica l'atmosfera che hai creato. Complimenti!
Oh, a different subject matter for you here--but so lovely. Very "Turner-esque!" Such atmosphere.
A wonderful watercolour jane.
It is a pleasure visiting your blog.
Kind Regards
Great atmosphere jane and so different for you........ well done, it's beautifully painted.
