The House in the Woods


This was started at Sky Blue as an exercise in counterchange, and finished off at Lancing Art Club on the theme of warm colours.

The light roof against the dark trees is a fairly obvious example of counterchange, but check out the tree trunks. Against the dark foliage they are light; against the light sky the same trunk is dark. Not "right" but it is effective.

Approximately 12" by 8", it was painted with St Petersburg White Nights watercolour paint on Winsor Aquafine 300 gsm paper.
