The Monmouthshire and Brecon Canal in Spring, Llanover

The Monmouthshire and Brecon Canal in Spring, Llanover is a small painting made using a very limited palette of water-mixable oil paints. The colours I used are:

• Titanium white
• French ultramarine
• Cadmium Yellow Pale Hue
• Cadmium Red Hue

This is a place that gives me a lot of inspiration with its trees, countryside and water. It is a peaceful and beautiful walking path.

The Sunlit Canal Path, Monmouthshire and Brecon Canal, Llanover

The Sunlit Canal Path, Monmouthshire and Brecon Canal, Llanover is inspired by the beautiful late-afternoon walks with the dogs along the Monmouthshire and Brecon Canal, when we used to live nearby.

Here, I wanted to capture the sunlight in a loose and immediate way, as it gives a warm touch to the landscape, with the pale blue sky reflected in the fluid mirror of the canal.
