Peaceful village

This is the last of my vintage style watercolours (for now) and I think this one might be my favourite. I don’t have step by step photos for this one but the process is exactly the same as shown in the tranquil hamlet video I posted earlier this week.
I worked on hot pressed watercolour paper but stamped with walnut stain ink instead of vintage photo. The walnut stain ink is a darker brown so the whole scene is a little darker but still has the vintage sepia look to it. I stamped in a stamp positioner because there is a lot of detail in the stamp.
As with my previous vintage style scenes I blended the stamping with water which pulled colour into the interior of the buildings, trees and bridge. As I blended the walnut stain ink I also added colour from watercolour pencils, including blue, green, black, yellow and red. I was careful to blend colour right up to the edges of snowy areas so it would contrast with the bright white of the snow on roofs and hills.

Love all the details and subtle added colours!
These cards are sooooo pretty! I love them, and hope to be able to try this with some of my stamps. TFS
I enjoy your artistry very much! It brings much needed peace and serenity to my life.
WOW, this is gorgeous!
Beautiful card, Heather, as always!
Another beautifully coloured scene Heather. I love the way each of the scenes have been kept within the vintage theme but you have varied the colours a bit which makes them all so different. x
This card is such a joy, Heather. I feel it is already a peaceful Christmas morning.
Gorgeous scene, fantastic coloring!
This is so beautiful. Thank you for the link to your video.
Great colouring.
