This was inspired by the attractive welcome screen images that Windows 10 throws up. I simplified it to suit my skill level, and modified it to fit my paper ratio - 29 cm x 12 cm khadi watercolour paper.

Looks like the California coast somewhere. Beautifully done!

 

[Balaji]

Thank you Jo.

 

[Bartc]

Damn good! Agreed about the CA coast appearance, but any way you slice it, it's a really well done rendering.

 

[Terri]

Wow! Beautifully done, Balaji. I love the textures from this watercolor paper, too. A lovely rendering!

 

[Balaji]

Bartc, Terri...Thank you.

 

[Artyczar]

Yes, looks like Cali. Very cool and stylistic. Well done Balaji!

Balaji, not sure of your concern over skill levels. This is skillfully done, the washes are spot on, wet on dry etc. very nice.

 

[Triduana]

This is lovely work, I really like the colours.

Murray...The image that I used as reference had a lot more nuances, in colours as well as in features and textures. I think that if I had not simplified the painting to the extent that I have done, I would have struggled and botched the painting.

It shows skill to know what to leave in and exclude. Artists discretion.
