This is the final result of the gouache I've been working on of a pathway in France. I saw a nice photo of a friend that I liked and thought I'd try to paint it. I hope I was able to capture the light that inspired me and also add a little of my own imagination. One frustration with painting with gouache is the lightening of the colors as they dry. When I think I'm finished, sometimes they still don't seem dark enough...so more work is needed!
je trouve ça vraiment très beau! les arbres, la lumière !
ReplyDeletebon week end to you;)
Ce fut un bon test pour essayer différents verts pour les troncs d'arbre!
ReplyDeleteJ'essaie de peindre quelques paysages - c'est un nouveau défi!
merci, if6, j'apprécie votre recherche :-)
I really like the way you have reproduced the colour of the strewing pink petals ...
ReplyDeleteI was having the most trouble deciding how to do those petals
ReplyDeleteI'm glad they are looking natural!
:-)
Thanx jl!
I particularly like the different colors and shapes of the tree trunks.

I love to experiment with various greens and of course there are many in nature!
ReplyDeleteI appreciate your comment, Pam.
See you soon!
I love paintings of roads & paths leading to some unknown place ripe for discovery! This is lovely, Anne - you captured the play of light beautifully!
ReplyDeleteThanks Carol!
ReplyDeleteI like paths too and I liked the photo of this one. I'm not sure what it looks like at the other end but I can imagine it!
so sweet of you to visit!
