Description Watercolors, 8 x 35 cm

I had a piece of paper left from another painting. And as I'm not really content with my latest works I wanted to do a better piece even if it's only very small. So here it is. Inspiration came from a landscape described on the very first pages of Ivanhoe.

How beautiful! May I use it on a norwegian page called minstall.no? Your name will of course be on the picture.

I love how descriptive Sir Walter Scott is, even if it is annoying at times. His description of the forest at the beginning is so beautiful.

What a lovely stream! the way you paint water is astounding - I can hardly believe this is watercolour.

Thank you very much! Water is surely one of the toughest thing to paint with watercolors. Took me quite some time to get it like this.

I love the opening pages of Ivanhoe, how you drew it looks almost exactly how I saw it in my head.

Mmmmmh I like the water. Water is tricky and you made it believable in your painting.

Yes, water is challenging. Especially flowing water.
