Description
Stone Henge on Salisbury Plain in Wiltshire is a prehistoric monumental construction of standing stones. On the day I visited the Stone Henge and took the photo this painting was based on, it was a bit overcast and there were several large black birds (ravens or crows) standing around, lending even more of an air of mystery to the strange and wondrous site. I brightened the look a bit (artistic license) which give a strong contrast. This was painted in the purist watercolor style, where there is no white paint used. The white and light areas are done by leaving the paper to show through and using delicate washes where there are light colors. This creates a very intense contrast and even very bright dark areas.
