Feluccas on the Nile - part 2

Feluccas on the Nile from a scene in Aswan, I used in this painting the Style of Ron Ranson a great landscape watercolorist, from his book Skies in Watercolors. His book inspired and helped me a lot with the different types of skies and how to paint them and also the foreground rocks.

Fellucas on the Nile, done mainly with a Hake brush mixing the watercolors on the paper directly. I was helped by my Teacher Paul Moran who has painted wonderful watercolors of Egypt and also amazing English landscapes and skies, please checkout his website by clicking on this link Paul Moran Gallery. I am sure you will like it very mush.

House in a forest

I am new to using complementary colors like greens and red on the tiles to draw attention to the house, but actually it works fine, I took the idea from a great book called Skies in Watercolour by a great watercolourist RON RANSON.
