This is my watercolour blog. I hope to post new works, old works, and describe the decisions and inspirations behind each painting. Here I post a watercolour done on location, in 1998, in where else, Paris, of the Notre Dame cathedral. It is a view from the back of the cathedral, with the statue in the foreground. I am sitting in a small park where a man plays a string instrument (not in painting), mid way through a police officer takes the man away. I miss the music. This painting was done at the end of the trip, my confidence was very high, otherwise I would have never taken on such a detailed work. The base colours were applied in washes, and the details were done in drybrush. The painting took about 1h15min, a little longer than usual.
Notre Dame Cathedral, Paris, watercolour 4.5 x 7" cold press, 1998 (No. 0988b)
Glad you decided to start the blog - and great choice for your first post. Can't wait to see more. Take care!
