From the album: Have a go!
From a photo of Mita Rani Das After laying-out the initial colour scheme, I brushed over the different colours with a soft brush dipped in clean water, in order to make a sort of watercolor-type background wash.

From the album: Have a go!
This is the first stage of the painting. I made the background color scheme by blocking-in the main colors with soft pastels on heavy, course-grained watercolor paper - and then going over the different areas with clean water on a paint brush in order to make a watercolor wash effect. I am basing this painting on a really nice photo by Jim Winsor. http://www.facebook.com/jim.winsor.75 Photo used as reference material with Jim's very kind permission. The original photograph on which this painting will be based, can be down-loaded at: http://www.photoartf...ailway-cp-8856/ The photo was taken in October 2011 and Jim writes: "This was so far the most significant snowfall we have had yet this year. I braved the elements today to capture this rare for me image of such a beauty. I arrived at this location and it was dull and overcast which soon gave way to a lite blowing snowfall. This beauty could be heard off in the distance and low and behold out of the blowing snow she came."© © Jim Winsor
