Dark Skies over a Big River – Original Watercolour Painting

£2,000.00

I’ve often observed dark threatening clouds hang omniously over the River Tyne with sunlight bursting through, creating patches of light reflected on the water.

Watercolour is the ideal medium to capture these fleeting moments of nature.

This simple but effective watercolour has been painted on hand made paper from Fabriano in Italy. I’ve been to the Fabriano paper Mill in the Marches region of Italy on two occasions to purchase their beautiful paper and leather bound sketchbooks.

The rough texture of the paper is ideal for creating the dark moody clouds to contrast the bright light sparkling on the River Tyne.

Dark Skies over a Big River | Newcastle paintings – Alan Reed

A Big River

I’ve often observed dark threatening clouds hang omniously over the River Tyne, Newcastle with sunlight bursting through, creating patches of light reflected on the water.

Watercolour is the ideal medium to capture these fleeting moments of nature.

This simple but effective watercolour has been painted on hand made paper from Fabriano in Italy. I’ve been to the Fabriano paper Mill in the Marches region of Italy on two occasions to purchase their beautiful paper and leather bound sketchbooks.

The rough texture of the paper is ideal for creating the dark moody clouds to contrast the bright light sparkling on the Tyne.

The title of this Painting was after the famous Geordie Jimmy Nail. “Big River” is a song written and performed by English singer and actor Jimmy Nail, included on his fourth studio album of the same name. The song was released as a single on 16 October 1995, reaching number 18 on the UK Singles Chart and number 10 in Hungary.
