In the news

I've just finished this little watercolour painting of the Pont Royal (Royal Bridge) in Paris, from a photo I took almost twenty years ago, and am quite pleased with the result.
For landscape or cityscape scenes in particular I adore both the warm pink light of dawn and the cooler mauves and blues of dusk.
So the light of this sunrise scene intrigued me, because of the contrast of 'warm' and 'cool' tones within the same area.
The sky above the bridge was a warm pink, while the bridge itself was bathed in the much cooler blues being reflected by the blue-grey water of the river.
Adding to this atmospheric feeling, each of the distant buildings had a a cool mauve or purple tinge on its shaded sides with a warmer tone where it was lit by the rising sun.
I hope you enjoy it!
