Mountain range
This watercolour painting captures the rugged beauty of a mountain range in the Peak District. I’ve drawn inspiration from the ever-changing weather, which lent the landscape a sense of impermanence, as though the scene itself were alive and constantly reshaping. The use of raw umber lends the piece a grounding earthiness, evocative of the texture and weight of the rocky terrain. In contrast, the pink and blue hues introduce an ethereal quality, emphasising the fleeting interplay of light and atmosphere across the peaks.
I have executed this as an contemporary expressionist work, the painting moves beyond a literal representation of the scenery to convey an emotional response to nature's dynamism. The shifting weather patterns are not merely observed but felt, in that moment it created within me a vivid snapshot of a moment that is as transient. This piece invites viewers to engage with the tension between permanence and change, grounding and dreamlike hues—a reflection of nature's duality and its impact on our perception of time.
