Candy coloured cottages

in #art9 years ago (edited)

Stumble upon the pastel coloured rows of cottages, winding merrily up the steep streets of candy colours and bunting.

A painting of one of the quaint streets of Appledore, a small fishing village in North Devon, UK. Completed in watercolour and fineliner.

Beautiful! I was there last spring

It's a wonderful, artistic, little place. I wish I could live there!

Beautiful and quaint. I always enjoy your work.

Thank you @team101 , that's really positive to know.

Wonderful! Thank you, @opheliafu!

You know, in your works I really like the combination of simplicity and life itself. They are deep and meaningful, although sometimes quite simple in form. That's my perception ;)

You perceive well. I'm a trained artist, the first part of my education involved hours of still life and life drawing and accurate colour mixing, etc, etc. The second part - 'now forget all that' , draw what you see, focus on showing the feeling that you feel in that place at that time. What has always stuck with me when I'm spending too long on trying to get the details accurate rather than putting myself into that moment are the words of one of my tutors ' why are you trying to copy it, use a camera for that.' I try to show my soul in my work, not what a camera could show you.
I think I've just written another post here, lol!

upvoted,awesome work.
