I have tried several versions of this painting since I posted a drawing of it some days ago. I think I learned much from painting this one, though it still needs some work. I love the vibrancy of the colours, and the way I was able to paint the grasses to the right -- though the latter required that I wreck one of my wife's acrylic brushes to get the effect. I like the leaves on the trees too.
I might do yet another version of this picture, but I hope this one marks a breakthrough in my painting style.
This is a 10" by 8" watercolour with salt, masking fluid and a little oil pastel. It was painted over three days.

Oh wow that's fantastic the colours so vibrant 🤗xx
My sister bought some calenders of scenes she puts photos too off her phone on the computer to enlarge and is doing different art now very detailed it shows everything I can't be botherred lol I'm bit tired now had bit stressful news today 🌟🌗
I love the vibrant colours too BrentW and I especially love the way the foliage to the right of the path turned out.
That has worked out really well - I love the effect of the salt in the foliage and the grasses are great, fabulous combination of colour and texture. I used to use salt, and a hairdryer to 'fix' when I was happy with the effect. Happy days. You make me think about getting out my paints again.
The grasses and trees make the right side of the painting especially interesting, and I love their vibrancy too! I hope your wife has forgiven you for “wrecking” her brush! It’s probably yours to keep now though ... so more “grasses” can be in your future!
