getaway by summerfield

getaway

today's watercolour prompt is "travel". i had a couple of ideas which i thought were simple enough - a rolling valise, airplane and clouds -- but they didn't really work out. so i had this image in my head from the presidential mountains somewhere in maine or around that vicinity of the eastern united states. but i cannot find the photo. my sister advised me to stop looking at model/photos and just paint whatever i have in my brain and use the skills and techniques that i have already learned.

so...this is from my brain. a concept of what i have seen and photographed a long time ago. strictly watercolours and 2 brushes. and i had an accident: dipped the brush in my lemon water 🤣 and almost drank the water i was using to clean my brush. almost, not quite.

and this is my interpretation of the prompt 'travel'. those mountains are quite the thing, aren't they?
the mountains turned out beautifully as did the ivy covered resort. I think your sister is right............paint form your brain

When so many are out there on vacations, it gives all of us a longing to be on the road with them! I look forward to time to do some hands-on art as it looks gently relaxing! Nicely done!

what a lovely scene - I think too that your sister is right. Are they cherry trees 🤣 each one has a different character.

Nice one Vikki. I'd love to be back travelling overseas again, but I'm not yet ready to take the plunge. For now I'll have to be content with travelling at home.

Well you did a great job. I like your sister’s idea, painting from memory!
