Livingston lane
Posted: September 3, 2022 Filed under: Uncategorized 17 CommentsI’ve always loved views down lanes and alleys in different cities. Montreal’s lanes are wonderful in summer when you can get a peek into people’s gardens, but even better in winter after a snowfall when the shadows come down the fences and across the ground. In Livingston, Montana, I discovered some great lanes and back alleys too, but the views are a little different than in my city. There’s often a backdrop of mountains and occasionally some unexpected structures like this wooden grain elevator right in the middle of town. I painted this in Payne’s Grey and Lemon Yellow, which makes a beautiful green, and hopefully from this I will do a larger, full-colour watercolour.

That’s going to be a great painting!

Very interesting the mixture of Payne’s Grey and Lemon Yellow. I really beautifull when colors selected are simplified and focus is on values.

I love the greens.
Do you ever offer workshops in Montreal? I live in the finger lakes region. If you have a better way to contact you, you could let me know. I do have several of your online classes and I like your teaching style.

Hi Mary. The last time I gave a workshop in Montreal was before Covid. I wasn’t sure what my plans were for the summer so I didn’t schedule any for this year. Perhaps next year. If you want to learn about new workshops, the best way is to get on my mailing list. Just add your name and email here: https://www.blaukopfwatercolours.com/
