Description
I painted this scene by applying layers of texture medium (like a very thick PVA glue) to the canvas, creating different textures in the areas of sky, water, hills and trees. Once that layer had dried, I used my fingers to apply the paint, before scratching into the surface and adding detail to give the impression of foreground plants. I really enjoyed creating the painting and have been pleased that several people have recognised where it is, despite it being painted in a loose style.
Llyn Clywedog lies in the hills above Llanidloes, Powys, close to the source of the River Severn.
