A few months ago we were on a short vacation in Vaals, where we made some nice signposted walks.
The landscape with the highest hills in The Netherlands is picturesque for us (living in a very flat 'polder' landscape) so we made (reference) pictures of those hills and nice views. One of these pictures, made in a lush and green landscape, is now used for this winter fantasy.
Of course I only used the view over the hills and transformed the green of the grass to a white snowy landscape. The trees nearby and the bushes are for another kind of painting.
For this painting I selected a rough structured paper which makes the soft colour transitions you see in the painting very easy as it stays moist a little longer without being really soaking wet. Details are a bit more tricky, not only because of the water holding capacities of the paper but also because of the structure. But as I did not want details, but a nice Winter mood, this was not a problem at all.
The results are even better than I hoped for, maybe because I stopped early so I could not overwork this one.
The information about the materials I have used, the size of this work and its availability can all be found in my Tumblr blog.
