the yellow house

SOLD

I love this corner house. Every time I walk past it I am inspired by it. I painted this on Hot Pressed Watercolour Paper, just to mix things up a bit. (Also it was on sale!) I like the way the pencil slides easily across the smooth texture, as opposed to the slight grain in my usual Cold Pressed Paper. I'll do a few more and see how it goes...
$50 - 5"x7" watercolour painting with 8"x10" matt.

    I think this is absolutely beautiful Nora. In fact, you've been a great inspiration to me and I plan on trying a piece myself that emulates your style a bit. I hope you will not mind. I just need to see if I can manage it since I do so love what you do!

    Lovely work, and great job on the perspective, too! HP paper is my favorite...I know you'll enjoy it.

    Lovely picture! I think you just might have inspired me to dip my brush into the unknown and try hot pressed paper.

    It's gorgeous! It looks like the view from the upstairs window of the opposite house. Is that where you were? :0)

    This is so beautiful, such ambiance, I love it. I am still looking for my yellow cottage. I love the shadows too. Blessings, Janet PPF
