Babbling Brook

[Balaji]

This is a watercolour painting on A3 size 270 gsm Chitrapat watercolour paper (rough). It is based on a demo by Kangkan Das, a leading Indian artist. Fairly early into my attempt my painting did not go forward as intended. I toyed with the idea of abandoning it and then decided to salvage it to the best of my ability. This is how it finally turned out.

I am so happy you did not abandon this because I'm in love with it! There is something truly special about this. It's original and provocative. It has a very unique style and sense of place and isn't your average watercolor landscape, which is what makes it such a wonderful example of watercolor technique. Frame this immediately!!!!

Thank you snoball. So do I. But I was trying for a slightly different shade of purple.

I too am glad you didn't abandon it. It's beautiful - I love the sense of tranquility and those soft colours.

Very nice! It reminds me a bit of John Marin's work.

I like it a lot. It has a freshness, you did not overwork it by going back in.

Great work guiding the viewer receeding into the background- lovely purple treeline and water movement in foreground too. Good job!
