This is an experimental landscape from imagination using rough fabriano (Aristico) paper with watercolor and gouache. I reworked the clouds a number of times. The surface stood up to repeated washes and scumbles. An Australian landscape comes to mind. I have seen a number of excellent water media artists that come from down under via art books.

Very nice...the clouds turned out fantastic, well worth the effort. I really enjoy that mass of trees in the foreground, and that little touch of cool blue in the distance.
wow.. superb! i especially like how the texture of the paper really adds to the light portrayed in the painting.
The color mixing is always so sophisticated!
Nice overall tone - the clouds look fantastic.I like the shadowing underneath the clouds with gray shades.Nice depth and contrast between foreground and background.
I almost want to see a settlement of little houses at a distance.It might add to the depth in the painting.
I like the loose feel to all your work.Makes the landscape look very alive!
you got quite an imagination there.
Great tone and texture. ALso I like the movement and brushstrokes.
Feels a bit on the English tradition to me. Whatever it's really nice.
I like your paintings a lot.
Its nice to see someone using gouache. I think it's a lovely medium and it doesn't get enough attention from most artists. I have used it for flowers, though not recently. I must confess that an English landscape also came immediately to my mind, rather in the Constable tradition, with that beautifully-positioned tree and windswept sky.
