Forss Mill
Falls at Forss Mill
Watercolour
25 x 36 cm
I've tried to paint this subject a few times before. Each time I've ended up over-working it because of all the detail. This time I concentrated on what interested me most, which was the waterfall, and tried to paint the rest as simply as possible.
The mill is no longer working, but fortunately it was acquired by the Highland Buildings Preservation Trust. They have converted the building for residential use, while retaining most of the original features.

A nice change of pace to have the subject "up front and centre"... tumbling into the foreground and out... Just like Spring does! Very nicely done my Friend! Love it!!!
Good Painting!
Warm regards,

good to concentrate on keeping it simple
still plenty of detail to enjoy
I actually felt that I was painting more detail in the water than I would have done previously. I think I would have used more dry-brushing, but I'm trying for a cleaner, crisper look now, so I built up the water quite carefully.
Stay well !
All the best.
I would like to open a window on my blog to your
