A wet in wet watercolour sketch on 140 lb hot pressed watercolour paper. The majority of this sketch is done with Paynes Grey, with just very tiny hints of Sepia and Prussian Blue. This took me about 15 minutes.
When it rains in Scotland the mountains very quickly blur into the clouds and mist and they still look beautiful. This sketch, my abstract rendition of rain on the mountains, will be stuck into my watercolour sketchbook…
The bleeding greys are just right for a rainy day. Of which we’ve had plenty recently. (K)
Thank you – yes, we’ve had a little more rain than we really need… !
Wonderful job creating the feeling!
Thank you Jodi…!
Perfect time to stay inside and paint. Often the quick ones are the best and you’ve caught it perfectly.
Thank you Sandy
Beautiful! love the bleeding and essence of landscape.
Thank you Margaret
Lovely – mountains dissolving into the sky…
Thank you Kathy!
This is just stunning. Delicate and yet conveys the feeling of really wet weather. I love it.
Thank you Claudia – I really enjoyed painting this! There was a temptation for me to keep fiddling with it and I had to stop myself and tell myself “it’s fine just as it is!”…
It’s beautiful. And I know that feeling of – I need to keep working on it – even when it has all the things it needs already.
This is gorgeous, Evelyn. Very like how the rain merges everything in the Scottish Highlands! I love the soft, subtle colours you’ve chosen. It’s beautiful. Thank you for your visit and nice comment – I’m glad you liked my latest card for my hubby. I had a very satisfactory meeting with the carpenter this evening regarding our new pantry and the news is all good! Thank you for your kind words about poor little Phoebe. Beatrice is constantly out in the garden and we think she is looking for her.

Thank you for your kind words about my mountain watercolour Shoshi….
so soft and atmospheric, love the mood you conveyed!
Thank you Debi! I’m still a beginner at watercolour painting but I love it and I’ m determined to learn… !
Evelyn, you. are a master ! creative, inventive, experimentalist…. risk taker! you may not have used the media of wc as much – but that won’t be a barrier for you. no. not at all! 🙂
Thank you Debi – that’s so encouraging to hear you say that… !
I say, Lassie….you have a way with the watercolor (spoken in my best Scottish accent). The simplicity in which you work is very complementary to the outcome. I am impressed with your patience at learning watercolor, Evelyn. Practicing a new skill mindfully!
Thank you Carol – I love the Scottish accent. I love painting with watercolours but it’s not an easy thing to learn so I realise I’m going to need all the patience, persistence and practice I can muster… !
Beautiful! This is a really atmospheric painting, I’m definitely feeling the misty, moody mountains.
Thank you Sunnyfae! I used a healthy dollop of artistic license for painting this…
This is wonderful, Evelyn!
I especially love the way you rendered the clouds.
Have a great week ahead.
Thank you Lisa – I’ve been practicing clouds… !
