This is an original studio painting it’s the second in a series of larger pieces in soft, muted tones, inspired by some of my “spring melt” pleinair sketches. The mix of indigo and raw sienna provide the base cool and warm tones that I see in the thaw of early spring in Montreal. It was a moody March day when I captured the photos and the pleinair sketch I used for reference. This is a pure watercolour painting: all whites are the whites of the paper, no white paint was used. I used quite a few advanced watercolour techniques to create this piece including glazing, lifting, masking, negative painting and wet-in-wet. This painting is for someone who loves nature, the changing seasons, Montreal and Canada, and a calm and peaceful mood. Ideal artwork for any living or working space.

Watercolour, 17.825 x 12" (painted area is approximately 17.125 x 11.25) with professional light-fast pigments on 100% cotton paper.
