Icy Forest

[KreativeK]

7x9 mixed watermedia in Masters Touch 80 lb paper sketchbook, done last week, another imaginary winter landscape. Here I have begun with white acrylic gouache followed by grey Brusho then watercolor, utilizing lots of negative painting to form forest trees.
C&C welcome.

Very different. I feel the snow is very frozen and crystalized. Wow, impressive background, too.

I know it is good when sitting in Florida I feel a chill looking at it! Well done!

Very good, Kay. Negative painting is more difficult than just painting it in. Well done.

Thank you all!

This is cleverly done- great 'feel' to the piece- it LOOKS cold. I really like that right side mid-area in that rusty brown- my eye goes there, and then all around, back to the brown, and all around- good work here.

WOW! You are the new Ice Maiden

LOVE!!! It's almost an abstract. I love how this turned out. It's such a beautiful work.

 

[KreativeK]

Many thanks everyone, I appreciate you all.

Nice!
I see it almost opposite from Jo: There's been a wet snowfall (the large white areas) and the area in the lower left is a stream with a water-ice-snow-mud mixture. Makes me want to double-check that my boots are tied and waterproofed!

Thanks!
You nailed it, Rich. That is exactly what I was going for here with this one.

It is lovely! I especially like the variations in the dark negative painting.

Very nice abstract composition.

I missed this one before! Beautiful work, Kay! I love the almost abstract feel of this, while clearly seeing a cold, wet, winter scene. Great job.

 

[KreativeK]

Many thanks!

 

[gbritnell]
