The shed
One more of the paintings I did on the island up north, the shed between our house and the neighbor´s. The grid pattern was painted using some kind of grating I found in the shed, don´t know what it´s been used for, I just thought it made a cool pattern. The surface was first printed with some old piece of wood, as I´ve shown in an earlier post, hence the uneven background behind the pattern.
20 x 20 cm, pencil and watercolours on 300 gsm (140 lb) watercolour paper (Arches or Saunders Waterford, can´t remember which…)
Love your shed Nina…as I love all your work. such a rich burgundy red. Beautiful!

The colors are great and your artwork is lovely. Thanks for sharing the wood printing tip – I will give it a try. I am always having a hard time painting greenery.

What a lovely painting! The pattern on the right is a very nice addition and balances the colors in the shed perfectly. nancy
I love what you are doing with the interesting printed textures. Great addition to the juicy, lovely watercolors.
I've been loving all your holiday paintings, Nina but this one is a favourite. Brava.
Love this page, so beautiful and well balanced! Always love looking at your work!
This is so appealing to me. I could laze in the shade looking a this scene with some iced tea. Love the grid area, it adds a lot.

Nina, I love how you managed to keep your foreground tree backlit. The added interest of the textured panel is delightful as well.
