Foggy Mountain Retreat

Posted on January 21, 2021January 20, 2021 by Laura Kate

Lately I’ve been viewing a lot of images of mountains in the fog. It was time for me to paint my own.

The trick is to paint the mountains on dry or slightly damp paper, then flood the area just under them. The water pushes the pigment away.

French ultramarine blue, cobalt blue, Payne’s grey, burnt sienna, quinacridone gold and scarlet lake. Cold press Fabriano Studio paper.

One of six children, I was raised by a busy mom, who instilled in me a love of fabric. Though I learned to sew and knit at a young age, it was the arrival of my first grandchild that pushed me into action. A long-time knitter, I am now ready to explore all things fiber. View All Posts

Seeing your lovely paintings keeps making me wonder if I should dig out my watercolours or pastels.

  Do it!! Watercolor is for everyone, and there is no “correct” way to use them.
