a snowy mountain hut

Little refuge in Valle Pineta, Monte Perdido national park

Happy new year everyone! Here's to another year of watercolour joy and painting together :-)

We start the year with this little mountain hut, which is in one of the national parks near my home. I actually took this photo last spring when had a huge amount of snow and I've been holding onto it until now, so that I could paint it with you.

It's a fun painting to do with a minimal of detail so that the painting is all about the contrast of warm against cool colours and soft and hard edges. Plus each part is small and separate so can paint slowly for this one, no need to rush.
