In my previous post I have introduced this landscape on the shore of the 'Veerse Meer' with the line of poplar trees reflected in the calm waters of the lake. I also wrote that I would paint this scene again, changing the composition to the one that is in the reference picture.
This means that I have placed the horizon in the middle of the composition, which is a bit against the rules, and I have changed the colour scheme.
For this painting I have given the poplar trees the green colour they have later in spring. My first painting shows the red-brown shade of the fresh leaves before they turn green a few weeks later. Instead of the grey-blue shade of the clouds and their reflections in the water that I used in my first painting I have used Indigo which is a dark blue shade for this one.
Both changes create a different mood to the painting and that is what I wanted to achieve.
The information about the materials I have used, the size of this watercolour painting, its price and availability can all be found in my Tumblr blog.
