Some sceneries are not only charming, beautiful, but also have a unique spirit.
A lonely boat, which experienced a dangerous situation and tempestuous waves, finally returned to the quiet harbor.
Like many people, who are busy all day long and look forward to returning to their own warm home. Because home is always such a place where you can relax and have a rest, a harbour of the soul.
I love this picture, because it makes me feel very calm, and it is much like a lake near my house. There are green grassland, some houses (actually they are sales offices of developers ) by the lake and a steel railway bridge over the lake .
I used to go there with my friends, playing football with children, going fishing, and flying kites. But now everyone is busy and rarely gets together .
I seldom used tape to stick watercolor paper on the drawing board before, so when I finished my painting , it began to wrinkle. It is normal, if you don't stick it on the drawing board. To avoid this situation and be propitious to color, you'd better to stick watercolor paper on the board with tape.
有些风景不仅仅是迷人的，美丽的，更有一种独特的精神。
漂泊的小船，经历了狂风暴雨，惊涛骇浪，终于回到了宁静的港湾。
就像很多人一样，整日忙碌奔波，盼望着回到自己温馨的家。因为， 家永远是我们放松和休憩的场所，一个心灵的港湾。
我很喜欢这个画面，一是因为它会让我的内心感到特别平静，二是因为它跟我家附近的一个湖很像，湖边也有绿地，小屋（其实是开发商的售楼处），还有大桥。过去经常和朋友们去那里玩，陪孩子们踢球，钓鱼，放风筝。只是现在大家都很忙，很少再聚了。
之前画风景画的时候，很少去裱纸，导致有时候画完，纸都起皱很多。因为在绘画时，纸张过薄，而需要大面积湿画法表现时，就会出现这种情况。为避免纸张起皱，利于上色，最好裱一下画纸。
Material ：
watercolor paper, watercolor brush, water tape, drawing board, wool scrubbing brush, solid watercolor paint.
所用工具: 水彩纸，水彩笔，水胶带，画板，羊毛板刷，固体水彩颜料。
The Process 过程：
1、裱纸
先用清水把水彩纸正反两面都打湿，用大的板刷轻轻涂抹，然后平放在画板上。撕下四条纸胶带，用少量水打湿胶带，使水胶带产生粘性。用水胶带将画纸四周封边，按压粘贴的四边，等待画纸变干。
2、给背景铺色。用土黄和淡黄色混合，用板刷扫在画纸中间位置。下面淡淡的扫一层。
3、然后再调和蓝色的天空，先用天蓝和钴蓝色，大面积刷在画纸上。再叠加一层群青和深蓝色。
4、等画纸变干后，用蓝色，绿色和紫色混合画出树木，用熟褐和赭石色混合，画出地面。
5、继续用熟褐和赭石，细笔勾勒出远处的大桥，水面的波纹用浅色淡淡的勾出。画出树木的倒影，如果再喷一点水，保持倒影区域湿润一些，再画就好了，树木的倒影边缘就会模糊一些，看起来更自然。
6、用橄榄绿色和温莎黄混合，画出房屋内的柔光。
7、用熟褐色画出远处房屋的轮廓。
8、用深绿色和黄色调和，画出房屋周围的树木。用赭石和熟褐色调和画出水草。
9、用佩恩灰和一点普蓝色画出近景的水草。用笔最好一气呵成。
10、在画面右下方画出小船。我用了熟褐色先画出轮廓，然后再用普蓝色和佩恩灰调和，画出阴影及桅杆。
11、整理一下细节，用干净的笔轻轻擦洗一下房屋前面的地面，屋顶，这幅画就完成了。
My other recent watercolor painting :
Wao outstanding best achievement, the images are quiet but these are giving a lesson of peace to all.so i personally like it.
Do you just use water color to paint images or also use pencil colors?
use watercolor to paint only.
thank you for stopping by.
真的好美，画中有画，那抹黄色，很有家的感觉
黄色给人很温暖，水彩颜料这个色我用的也多。 :)
将来我有小孩了，我一定让他或她去学水彩画！
那抓紧要个吧，呵呵。其实学什么都行，学好了都不白学。

@helene姐，越画越好了
谢谢，其实每次都有画不好的地方。。
Pictures of water, such as lakes, are always soothing. Perhaps it's because of the relative silence that goes with them?
You definitely have a talent, judging by this and the other six thumbnails at the bottom of your post.
thank you for your reply.
Very nice and beautiful Painting, so calm :)
@helene, this is absolutely gorgeous. I typically love pictures with just trees and earth, no people or birds or homes. I have to say, yours is one I would stare at for hours
thank you for watching this, but there are some houses in this picture..
Upvoted. I'm going to resteem this now :)
@opc, thank you for your support.
You are very creative. Can you teach me
thanks, but I'm not a teacher, and I'm also learnning drawing.
but you are more powerful than me
beautiful art
thank you :)
This is stunning dear. I wish to paint like that again but I had been so pre-occupied with a lot of things lately. Good work to you though!
thank you
I am absolutely blown away by that watercolor you did!
What a great watercolor painting, @helene
Keep up the fantastic painting.
thank you @mphil
you are welcome
Your process photos make me want to grab the old brushes and paint something again. The only thing which stops me is backlog of sculptures waiting for my attention. I guess I am one of this busy people too :) but would love to get to location like this with a friend and set of paints and forget about civilisation for a few days . Beautiful painting. Love your style.
I think you are a great artist who also love painting. Now a lot of work occupy our much time and don't have much time to do what we like, it is a pity! I hope we all spend a little time on our favorite things.
thank you for your kind words, really appreciate it.:)
It definitely has a calming serine effect on me. Thanks to @offgridlife for resteeming this. Followed you @helene.
thank you for your support.
mind blowing content!
Your paintings are really very soothing. And very beautiful. You have a talent, @helene! Continue to draw and please us with your works.
Up vote!
thank you @ladykatybit
So lovely! What a talent to have!!!
thank you
That is such a wonderful artwork. Thanks for sharing:)
you are welcome..
所有画的类型里，你最强的就是水彩画了吧？
我只学了一点素描和水彩，呵呵。其他的都没接触过呢。不过我很喜欢水彩，油画貌似在家画还不行，得有自己的画室才好，东西，味道都不适合在家学。
Helene, this is simply beautiful. I sometimes try my hand at watercolor, but I am very, very far away from where you are. This painting also somehow evokes your nostalgia for times gone by. Followed.
Really loved the outcome of your piece and how you showed the layering of water colours I struggle with water colours sometimes lol great work though keep it up 💪🏾😋
這顏色好美!!
蓝色再深一些就好了。水彩一干颜色就变浅了。：（
不過中間的亮度很夠,所以這樣看起來也是挺美的啦! :D
This is wonderful stuff!
Nice ! :) @helene
Enchanting and soothing. Check out my blog. I too paint :)
