Blea Water looking over Haweswater

Blea Water down to Haweswater in a stinging Winter hail storm – working from an image of a sketch done years ago, (which I can’t find).

Blea water is a smallish tarn, but very deep – you could hide Nelson’s Column from Trafalgar Square in it

76 x 56cm 640gsm Saunders Waterford, watercolour with a bit of underpainting in water soluble oils for a layer I didn’t want to shift.

This paper has natural irregular deckle edges, not shown.

The paints used all have a lightfast rating of ‘Excellent’.
