Description

For the ones who have viewed Le Pont de Senoueix in the photography gallery, you might remember that I 'post-scripted' the description with :
"PS: I have planned to make a watercolour artwork using another picture of this bridge. It shall take me ages to do it as usual, so come back here 'quite soon'".

And here it is ! Took me ages indeed, roughly two weeks but it was not a full-time job : I am a bar owner/tender and paint when I have a few minutes between each customer , when the business is not taking my time too much.

This very old bridge that crosses the Taurion river was built during the Gallo-Roman period. It can be found roughly 14 miles from my home in the french département of Creuse. (Still for those who viewed the picture, this description must have a 'déjà-vu' feeling)

As usual in my watercolours works, the material was :
Black indian ink: Pelikan (mainly for the bridge itself and stones)
Watercolours: Talens, Rowney-Manet
Brushes: Talens, Raphaël
Paper: Canson "Aquarelle Fontenay" (300g/m²)
