Hello my dear Steemians and Art Fans,

 
 

Today I wanted to share with you this simple seascape, just three colours and few mixes of them. This is also my last watercolour paper that is why I thought I need to finish it before the end of the year.

I am working towards minimalism in watercolor painting and will explore how to create with minimal colour combination and scene something interesting. I was always fascinated by this special style and will continue exploring it.

 

Hope you like it.

wow wow wow, this is really lovely. I especially like the gradients in your reflections. Great work!

Thank you Erik, yes, reflection is something that I would like to improve and to make more interesting. Now while on holiday I will try to do few of watercolour exercises to gain the confidence and lightness of using my brush. Appreciate for your opinion.

I use this fun technique which you might also enjoy... First, I brush in the 'sort of' shape of the silhouette, then I'll take a DRY brush and swipe over the wet in a sweeping downward stroke. It makes a cool looking soft edge that I really like, and it's super fun!

That sounds great. I actually now bought new block of watercolour paper Arches, rough, just arrived today, I am very excited about it. Will start my exercises :)

Very nice work @stef1, the image has a calming effect with a minimal combination of colors that are very nicely combined. The reflection is great and the motives are perfect I would love to hang it on the my wall, especially since I live on an island.

Thank you for such nice feedback, there is still some work to improve but at least that lets me practicing :)
