The shed


One more of the paintings I did on the island up north, the shed between our house and the neighbor´s. The grid pattern was painted using some kind of grating I found in the shed, don´t know what it´s been used for, I just thought it made a cool pattern. The surface was first printed with some old piece of wood, as I´ve shown in an earlier post, hence the uneven background behind the pattern.

20 x 20 cm, pencil and watercolours on 300 gsm (140 lb) watercolour paper (Arches or Saunders Waterford, can´t remember which...)

The colors are great and your artwork is lovely. Thanks for sharing the wood printing tip - I will give it a try. I am always having a hard time painting greenery.

What a lovely painting! The pattern on the right is a very nice addition and balances the colors in the shed perfectly. nancy

This is so appealing to me. I could laze in the shade looking a this scene with some iced tea. Love the grid area, it adds a lot.

Nina, I love how you managed to keep your foreground tree backlit. The added interest of the textured panel is delightful as well.
