Winter Landscapes in Watercolour
A new 95-minute DVD by David Bellamy.
David is a great exponent of painting winter landscapes, particularly under snow. Filmed in the Brecon Beacons and North Staffordshire, we see him on a winter’s day as he sketches alongside a canal and paints a cascading waterfall. He then finds some snow and paints a variety of subjects including cottages, trees, water and atmospheric skies. Finally, in the studio, he works up one of his sketches into a finished watercolour.
Review
“In winter, there’s generally a bit more colour around and you get away from all those awful summer greens” – and I don’t think he’s talking about cabbage.
That’s quite a challenging statement, especially as David is standing in a landscape thickly covered with snow at the time. “Monochrome” is the word that more obviously springs to mind. However, this is a film as much about overcoming preconceptions as it is about the process of painting.
