Dreamy pond
This painting is purely imaginative, although I think my time sitting in the dunes has inspired it. I wanted to experiment with lots of wet on wet washes. I applied a fun trick I saw on a YT movie by Christopher Stephen, where he uses a penny wrapped in tissue to pull out the sun. I did it slightly differently, I wet the paper and then used it to pull out the water, I then dropped paint into the wet area around it.

Very atmospheric Paul, lovely vegetation in the foreground. Ive seen the penny with tissue paper demonstrated several times in different ways for sun and full mooon but never tried it, pleased it worked for you.
