Watercolour painting of a section of the long, column-supported walkway or colonnade of the Hampstead Pergola. The pergola is a hidden treasure in my area in Hampstead and I'm lucky to be walking distance from it. If you don't know the area, you probably won't find it and wouldn't have heard about it. This raised old walkway is overgrown with wine and other exotic plants. It runs through the beautiful garden below. Spring is a magical time with spectacular display of colours of the many plants and flowers. Once owned by Lord Leverhulme, who built the Pergola as his legacy. Sadly since his death the Pergola has been losing its grandeur and today is like an ageing skeleton in the middle of a secret garden. It really has a special atmosphere. If you ever visit this area, it's an absolute must to see this place.
Although I portrayed the place rather eerie, in reality it isn't. You hardly ever see the walkway without people. It's also a lot more lively and colourful in Spring and early Summer.
Watercolour on paper. Size: 12 x 16 inches. Year: 2018.

About this artwork: Classification, Techniques & Styles

Watercolor

Watercolor is a painting in which gum arabic binds transparent pigments revealing the support of the painting. The gouache, of identical composition, is opaque. A watercolor is a water-based painting on paper. We rarely speak of a painting for a work painted in watercolor. Watercolor paintings are considered to be a unique way to creatively represent dreams, illusions, emotions and luminous feelings using water soluble pigments. However, painting with watercolors can be difficult. It's a difficult medium to master, in large part because it can be ruthless and unpredictable. Mistakes are difficult to correct and its fluid nature makes it difficult to control. Yet it is these very qualities that give the medium its undeniable charm.

Technic Painting

Painting is an art form of painting on a surface by aesthetically applying colored fluids. Painters represent a very personal expression on supports such as paper, rock, canvas, wood, bark, glass, concrete and many other substrates. Work of representation or invention, painting can be naturalistic and figurative, or abstract. It can have narrative, descriptive, symbolic, spiritual, or philosophical content.
