Mt. Assiniboine Sepia-Canadian Rockies


As the days are getting colder and Winter approaches I find more time to spend in my studio. Lately I have been working with watercolour paints on canvas. You first prep the canvas with a white gesso coating that allows the paint to settle on the canvas. After a few coats the canvas is ready to be painted. It is more challenging than traditional paper as the paint initially does not sink in so you have to plan your washes and level of colour in an area carefully. I love the challenge, as well as experimenting with larger surfaces with different shapes.

Mt. Assiniboine Sepia was painted with a mixture of sepia and ultramarine blue.
