Sail boat on the lake

2008-03-03T16:07:00.007+10:00

I got the idea for this picture, from a photo my brother took of a boat on lake Cootharaba.
Notice the boat in the background, left hand side.
I like painting water alot, because it is very easy to do with watercolours.The reflection was done with the same colour as the boat. The colours I used for this painting were: Phthalo blue, Ultramarine, Crimson, Permanent green, and Mediom yellow. Please rate this picture (eg, ***** = 5 star.)

This is a picture of moonlight on the water. It shows the moon reflecting on calm water, and the mountain also has a slight reflection. The colours I used for this painting were: Phthalo blue, Ultramarine, Crimson, Permanent Green, Ivory Black and Medium Yellow. To darken the blue, I used a little Ivory Black. Please rate this picture. (eg,***** = 5 star)

I did it from a painting in a book; '' Painting Mood and Atmosphere '' by Barry Herniman.

Horse and Rider performing "The Courbette"

The "Courbette"
This is a painting of a horse and rider performing the "Courbette" movement, where "the horse balances on its hindlegs and jumps, keeping its forelegs off the ground, thus it "hops" on its hindlegs" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classical_dressage). The crowd in the background is simply drawn as a collection of small dots, whereas the horse and rider are painted in more exquisite detail.
