Artist's Comments

Another Rough watercolour sketch of Lake Brienz, Switzerland. I quite like the colours in this picture, and think it has an almost stylised and art deco look to it.

It's very nice. It has a soothing effect. I like it.

I am not sure what you mean about the art deco thing, but I think this is extremely good, man. I really do. As Joav has said, it is very pale and soothing. 'Twould be nice to have in one's 'chill out room', if such a thing existed, hehe. :)

Great work.

How long'd this one take you, buddy?

I don't really know whether it seems Art Deco, But it reminds me of illustrations/paintings from the 1920s-30s. The mountains on the left coming down into the water are quite stylized and reduced to mere shapes. The colours help to make it soothing I think. They complement one another-prehaps this is beacuse I only used 4-5 colours, and just played with mixing them together. It must have taken 2-3 hours. Its only 140 x 230 mm.

Ah yeah, I can kinda see what you mean about the Art-Deco thing now. :nod:

That's cool- quite a limited palette. Adds a lot to the style I think, just as you said.

That sounds about right- I think I spend about 3-5 hours on drawlings, too. :)
