Here's a complementary colour experiment in orange and blue 🧡💙 after Vermeer. Of course, there is no way to get a full spectrum with such limitations. Nevertheless, I find it fascinating to attempt to recreate the relationship of colours and values in this way. Happy Monday!

A view of Government House, Yarralumla, in Canberra Australia. Watercolour on Fabriano CP. Happy with how the sky came out, and learning the more I do this.

A small watercolour to refocus this weekend. It's early autumn here, and things are starting to cool down. This little study of trees in Weston Park, Canberra. I was taken by the deciduous trees changing colour in front of a stand of eucalypts. #watercolour #landscape #art

A short watercolour sky study. Just a little something to brighten the day.

A recent study for a larger watercolour landscape. I was taken by the cloud reflections and the colouring of the rock on the edge of a tranquil lake.

A recent landscape in watercolour. I was taken by the light on the receding hills and the peaceful domestic scene of the clothes drying on a line.

Enjoyed the opportunity over the holidays to do some paintings. This one is a view south over Friendly Beaches on Tasmania's east coast. #watercolour #watercolor #landscapepainting #rosemarybrushes #danielsmithwatercolors #discovertasmania #archespaper #watercolourlandscape #watercolourartist

This is a little watercolour landscape I've been working on based on a view from Port Arthur, Tasmania. A beautiful spot that belies a disturbing past.
