  • Prompt: dreamy hazy breezy wet on wet watercolor, using minimal paints and maximum loose water effects. Paint a red haired 1800 man with a walking stick giving the back to the viewer. He is contemplating a sea of fog and clouds where only some rocky peak can be seen. all the edges get softer as you recede into the distance, The landscape is based on the Elbe Sandstone Mountains in Saxony and Bohemia The sun is the primary light source. The silhouette of the foreground suggests it is overhead and out in front. The clouds and fog seem to be diffusing the light, meaning it is not a strong and direct light like the midday sun on a clear day. The colors are restrained, with mostly weak blues, pinks, and yellows. there is a sharp contrast between light and dark elements. This is because most of the colors are at the extremes of the value scale (the colors are either really light or really dark; there are hardly any mid-tones). The values in the painting also get gradually lighter as you recede into the distance, starting with the dark, imposing rocks in the foreground, and ending with the barely visible mountains in the background. The colors also get a touch cooler in temperature. This creates a sense of atmospheric perspective or depth. The stance of the man is an important feature of the painting in and of itself. He is leaning primarily on one leg and there is a slight shift in his body to counter this. This is known as contrapposto, which is Italian for “opposite” or “counter”. It is considered a natural and visually pleasing stance. In this painting, hard edges are used for the rocks in the foreground and the man. This gives a sense of clarity and closeness. Much softer edges are used for the transient fog, clouds, and sky. The atmosphere is calm and melancholic.
