The Countryside of Childers

Charlotte Honour

Watercolour

Created out of watercolour during an en plein air day with my local art group. We met at a local vineyard on the outskirts of town and painted the view of the rolling hills and winding road.
This picture is particularly meaningful to me as it was the first time that I had ever painted “en plein air”, with the trees shifting in the breeze and ever-changing light constantly altering the scene in front of me. It, undoubtedly, adds an extra dimension to the whole experience; something you just can’t replicate tucked away indoors.
