Pembroke Lodge in Richmond Park

Today I have finished a Pembroke Lodge watercolour. I love painting trees and this view attracted me primarily by an ensemble of trees full of character and texture.

Heather Path in Isabella Plantation

Went to Isabella plantation today with my mum and daughter. It is a charming enclosure within Richmond Park. There is an area there full of flowering heather bushes. The fragrance is so nice. I found myself a cosy place by the bridge over a tiny brook an dedicated an hour to au plein air painting. Here is the result.

Sunset hour in Richmond Park

Another Richmond park today, this time in watercolour. I usually switch techniques often not to get emotionally tired. There is some kind of wild joy to return to the fluidity and fast drying of watercolour after thick and sticky oil and vice versa, after several watercolours it's a joy to fill silky smooth paste on the tip of my brush and to be free of the worry to paint accidentally over the light area. Well today, as I say, it's watercolour phase. Who knows how long will it lasts?
