Description Original painting for sale. If you're interested, send me a not and I'll tell you the price.

Watercolours, 24x30cm.
This is one of my first detailed forest paintings. I put a lot of effort into details and got inspired by several photos, but this particular place is fictional. I also looked up and added some flowers that might appear in riverside woods.

This kind of ecosystem (untouched woods that get flooded from time to time) has become very rare in Germany. Luckily, there are some very beautiful remains near the river Elbe, where the river has never been straightened and constricted, and which are protected by law. They’re very important habitats for rare plants and animal species like the salamander, mayflies and many freshwater fishes.

It must be a wonderful feeling to stand beside a natural steam with crystal clear water and to listen to the sounds of true European nature. This painting was created out of this longing.

Originalgemälde zu verkaufen. Preis auf Anfrage.

Aquarell, 24x30cm.
Dies ist eines meiner ersten detaillierten Waldbilder. I habe mir viel Mühe bei den Details gegeben und mich von verschiedenen Fotos inspirieren lassen, also ist dieser Ort fiktiv. Ich habe auch einige Blumen recherchiert und eingefügt, die in einem Auenwald wachsen könnten.

Dieses Ökosystem (unberührte Wälder, die ab und zu überflutet werden), ist in Deutschland sehr selten geworden. Es gibt zum Glück noch einige wunderschöne Reste an der Elbe, wo der Fluss nie begradigt oder eingeengt wurde, und die unter Schutz stehen. Sie sind sehr wichtige Lebensräume für seltene Pflanzen und Tierarten wie Salamander, Eintagsfliegen und viele Süßwasserfische.

Es muss ein großartiges Gefühl sein, neben einem solchen natürlichen Bach mit kristallklarem Wasser zu stehen und den Klängen der wahren europäischen Natur zuzuhören. Aus dieser Sehnsucht ist dieses Bild entstanden.

Amazing details, i don't really find stuff like untouched woods or wildlife in my country... I'd like to see something like this, a pristine forest with a little stream and still seeing wildlife no matte how small..

Oh, I'm sorry to hear that... But I'm glad you can enjoy watching any small wild animal! I feel the same, I'd also love to see untouched nature with my own eyes, but I can also stare at my tiny flowerbed for hours and just watch the bumblebees.

We have a really high level of pollution here - third most congested city in the world if i'm not wrong. I barely find any animals, so i get excited even at a squirell. Bees and other insects are sometimes fun to watch, except mosquitos, flies, and cockroaches.

Oh no, that must be really sad when you love animals and nature. But doesn't it also make you worship all the little creatures and even the tiniest green spot around you even more? Maybe you can look for a special little place and conserve it?

I wouldn't feel comfortable in a big city. It's just so much noise, glass and concrete...

I see stray cats everywhere.. but my family would "kill" me if they knew I touched one of those strays... But it's pretty enjoyable just to see them walk around. Unluckily I don't have a garden...

I also like cities.. They seem full of life and excitement while nature fills the calmer part of me. One thing about living in the city is that it's strategic to get everywhere..

How do you keep your whites so white? Any advice?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

rieke-b In reply to Elyssea [2012-09-26 12:14:59 +0000 UTC]

The best watercolour white you can get is the white of the paper, of course, so I often use liquid frisket (masking liquid) to cover areas that should remain white. A rather dry brush leaves out small areas of white, too (as you can see on the tree bark on this painting).
