An old photo of a painting done from a photo, scanned and uploaded onto the internet. This was painted in the 90's from a picture my aunt and uncle took on a trip up to the Yukon. They bought the painting along with a few others done from the same material. I used to do a lot of commission work in the past, which is where people ask you to paint things like scenes, family, pets usually from photo.
This was done on 300lb press paper which is very thick and takes the paint well. I used the end of the paintbrush to scrape out the branches in the bushes when the paint was still just a little wet. The colour saturation is highest in the foreground, and fades to the back, creating the illusion of distance.
cold press watercolour, 15 x11" 1993?
