PRACTICAL

p STAGE FIVE
Working spontaneously, I added the rocks in
a dark value, leaving snow patches here and
there. To create depth, I used French ultramarine
with cadmium red in the distance and French
ultramarine and burnt sienna in the foreground

q FINISHED PAINTING

Winter Sunset Across the Rocks, watercolour on Saunders Waterford 140lb

(300gsm) Rough paper 11 3 15in (28 3 38cm).

I brought the painting to a close adding further dark to some shadowed sides

of the rocks with thicker paint. I added more shape and dimension to the snow

and finished by softening the light flare of the sun into the highest rock
