Stone Staircase - Preview with Geoff Kersey ⎮ Watercolour Landscapes

Because I paint two new tutorials every month, I am always on the lookout for the next subject, often trying to seek out something a little unusual.
So on this occasion, I was looking for something that gets a little bit away from what might be described as the traditional, bucolic landscape scene; like this set of weathered old stone steps on a footpath near the shores of Ullswater in the Lake District.
I have photographed this scene many times, but on this particularly bright morning, I was drawn to the light filtering through the foliage, making dappled patterns on the stone steps, and the prominent rock to the right of the scene.
I like the fact that we are looking into the light, also known as “Contre Jour” which helps to hide detail and gives us a stronger contrast between light and dark.
It’s a subject that will really benefit from working speedily to avoid overworking, capturing the light and essence of the scene rather than a lot of detail.
Happy Painting,
Geoff.

I really love it Geoff I really would love to take classes from you I watch my grandkids probably by the time they grow up I'm going to be too old I wished you had a few more free things on RUclips just so I could get better. I believe the most important part is getting a good picture. Also I think I don't have the patience to wait for my paint to dry. But I really hope I can take a class from you one day😊
