Sooo... my take on this gorgeous landscape

Except the splatter in the sky, I am happy with the result. It is done in ink and watercolour.

@ggshearron Thank you very much for the permission to paint from your gorgeous photo. I hope this interpretation does it justice.

[JackieR]

Lovely! I must get paints out soon

[Susan Wakely]

I really like your interpretation. I keep trying but not doing too well.

@monikozi I think it is remarkable, but then I have never really seen anything you did that wasn’t! I love the pen and ink rendition.

[summerfield]

@monikozi - awesome work, kiddo. i love it. i love the details. it is really an attractive scene, isn't it? aces!

i'm wondering if i should try pen and ink, but i've primed a canvas for this to do in acrylic on the weekend. i'm trying to emulate the exact colours in the photo although i might go with something basic.

@30pics4jackiesdiamond thanks! A must!

[moni kozi]

@wakelys Thanks. Not too well compared to what? You need to have fun. I was so absorbed into doing this that i forgot about a meeting. It was so enjoyable and pleasant! As for the result, it's a fact: beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Cut yourself some slack. Be kind to yourself and have fun.

@grammyn tganks. You are, as always, full of praise. I love this ink and watercolour combination.

[moni kozi]

@summerfield thanks! Don't stress out! I tell you what: do the acrylic version as you set out to do, and when you feel like it, do an ink and watercolour too. It's the fun and the curiosity and the discovery that matter in the end.

[Sally Ings]

Very pretty. I like the colours you have used @monikozi

[moni kozi]

@salza thank you, Sally!

[katy]

@monikozi I love the looks of it also and you do it so masterfully!

[Kathy]

How very nice.

[Kathy A]

This is really lovely, you have done a wonderful job. I really like the splatter in the sky

[moni kozi]

@grammyn Thank you so much, Katy!

[moni kozi]

@randystreat Thank you very much, Kathy! I appreciate it!

[moni kozi]

@kjarn Do you, Kathy? Isn't it amazing how the viewer interprets it? My sore point is your soft one.
That is why I tried to encourage @wakelys Susan to give it a go. Sometimes what we don't like, someone else finds it pleasant.

[Glover Shearron, Jr.]

Thanks so much for sharing, you did a wonderful job.

[Jacqueline]

@monikozi Love the way you blended those autumn colours on the left of your painting Monika!

[moni kozi]

@ggshearron Thank you so much for the kind words. I really am very satisfied with the result. And as i open the sketchbook i see it much more pleasant by the day.

[moni kozi]

@jacqbb Thank you Jacqueline. Yeees, that part on the left is my favourite. It turned out so well. Unlike the right hand. That's the way to tell a beginner: can't reproduce the same thing. But i have to state that the paper is also a bit difficult. Although it is a Moleskine sketchbook, and it says it holds watercolour, i am not happy with it. Let's put it like this: i won't buy the second sketchbook. I will definitely be looking for something over 300 gms and a smaller format.

This is gorgeous. Love the muted colour with the blast of stronger colours. I am so envious of people that can paint!
