In its broadest sense watercolour includes liquid acrylics (pigment ink), gouache (an opaque watercolour), sumi ink, watercolour pencils and watercolour crayons. However when I use this variety of media I tend to think of the work as mixed media and reserve the term “watercolour” for transparent watercolour where white is the white of the paper, and a wet/wash technique is used on some or all of the work. Some botanical works however I will create using a drier process but I consider these watercolour illustrations rather than emotive paintings. Again it is the fluidity and movement of pigment during the creation of the work where a lot of water is employed which I love. It is a Zen experience and “magic” happens. No work in wet technique can be created to produce the same result again so each work must be unique.

I really like your watercolour of cradle mountain/dove lake. How much is it?
Thanks,
Kylie
Sorry, that one has sold to an overseas buyer, Kylie. Sorry. I am artist in residence at Cradle Mt Wilderness Gallery in the first week of October 2017 and no doubt will do more “Cradles” as a result of that. I will email you. Thank you for the enquiry. It is lovely to know you like it. I have a fridge magnet and a card made of that one and if you get a painting of mine sometime, remind me and I will include one of each as a gift.
Oh that’s a shame! It’s really beautiful. I think it will be too late for me to wait for your artist in residence in October. I wanted it for a wedding present for my sister in law who was proposed to on Cradle Mountain. Thanks anyway.
Wow, what a wonderful place for a proposal and what a special gift idea you had. Very memorable. Would have to snuggle up to each other there presently…. heaps of snow. I do currently have 2 other watercolours of Cradle Mt …. smaller at 27x18cm (half the size of this buttongrass) one a large acrylic on stretched canvas (about 1.5x1m) and an almost completed watercolour the same size as this which will be finished today (coming up to tourist season). I hope the wedding goes well. Thank you for considering my art as a special gift.
Is it possible to view pictures of the others? (And prices?)

I will get the camera out today
Kylie… I will put a new post on my home page with 3 Cradle Mt watercolours for you to consider. 🙂
For larger one is $160 and smaller ones $110 each.
It’s me again! I would like to buy the on entitled ” A whisper of misty cloud (Cradle Mt)”. How much is postage? What is the process for ordering?
Thanks,
Kylie
Hello “me again”, Kylie. Postage will be $10 (express post and signature on delivery to protect us both and keep track of Aus Post). One thing though, silly me told you the incorrect size……. it’s is a more reasonable 27x 18 (approx)….. a bit under A4. I knew it was about half of the larger work so I halved both measurements… silly for an ex Maths teacher!!!!. If that is OK size wise, you can direct transfer $120 ($110 for the painting and $10p&p) to my account…. details below. After the money shows in my account I send the artwork. I do have Pay Pal but have not done that through on line sales. I know I can have an invoice sent though and should be able to work it out. Old style post a cheque takes ages. I will need your address too. email evelyn_antonysen@hotmail.com or here which goes to my email anyway but others can see it. I am out tomorrow but will try to check during the day otherwise it will be evening
