A few simple minimal seascapes…..
Swift abstract splashes of watercolour….
Minimal, no fuss, no detail….
Simple swipes of complementary colours across the paper in Windsor Blue Red Shade, Indigo and Buff Titanium….
Above is a minimal abstract watercolour of Mousehole harbour (Cornwall, UK)….
And below is a soft grey sky, misty blue ocean and a sandy shore….
I love the soft translucent washes of colour….
These simple minimal seascapes were a mixture of wet in wet and dry brush technique. I used Arches cold pressed paper, 140 lb.
There’s something wonderfully therapeutic about brushing beautiful watercolours over lovely watercolour paper, with no agenda or pressure to create a “masterpiece”…. it gives me a wonderful sense of peace and calm….

Amazingly evocative for so few brush strokes. I particularly liked the minimal Mousehole Harbour.
Thank you Jessica….
Enough to convey the essence. Watercolor is my favorite and most of the art I have in my home.
Watercolour is my favourite too Sandy – I love it’s translucent and unpredictable nature….
Just a few strokes tells the whole story, beautiful, Evelyn.
Thank you Sharon….

Thank you Sunnyfae…. !
I often do also …. sometimes I just need to watch paint and water play on the paper.
Yes, sometimes it’s all that’s needed – thank you Jodi….
I’ve always loved watercolurs on textured paper just doing their own thing. Their unpredictability is what makes them so exciting! Just love how the colours bled into each other in the Mousehole piece.
Thank you Zsuzsa – I wholeheartedly agree…. !
Just beautiful, Evelyn.
I always love the blues you create.
Thank you Lisa – I love all colours connected with the seaside…. !
So lovely Evelyn – such pretty colours, so soothing to look at 🙂
Thank you Rosemary…. !
