Silent Sunrise
watercolour 12” x 16” on Arches Cold Pressed paper
The only movement was the mist, drifting in wisps and then disappearing silently above the still surface of the lake.
See a short movie that I took of this lake on YouTube

Thanks Corinne.
Lora Garcelon
Beautiful painting – I love the blue in the foreground. What paints did you use for that?
Douglas Hunt replied
thanks for your comment, Lora. If I remember correctly, the blue was a combination of ultramarine and prussian. I could have thrown in a touch of something else; I don’t really remember! I use a lot of brands of watercolors; Windsor Newton, Reeves, DaVinci, Grumbacher, Talens

Wow..love the reflections! Did you do the whole area wet in wet?
Douglas Hunt replied
The entire painting, with the exception of the peninsula jutting out into the lake, along with the rocks, is wet in wet, with details added after.
