I Create 12 Watercolor Landscapes With Castles Within A Year

ADVERTISEMENT

Hi everyone! I’m Kate, a watercolor painter. Every year I have a challenge for myself in painting 12 landscapes on a specific topic. So this year I chose a very interesting theme: I decided to paint 12 landscapes with castles and fortresses. The idea is to show other people non-standard locations.

Why do I call it “challenge”? Because for me it’s like a whole project, that I have to complete within a year! You may think that it’s an easy task, but it’s not so.

First of all you have to find and choose non-trivial places in the world. Not every location can be unusual and interesting. Then I think over the season, the time of the day, the light and the point if view (you need to look through dozens of photos to understand how the castle looks like). I combine this viewed visual material and imagine how the castle should look in the conditions I need. And after the paintings are completed I make a layout for my 2022 watercolor calendar. So it’s not just a challenge… it’s a useful challenge! :)

I hope you enjoy this series of watercolor paintings!

Hey there, Pandas! My name is Diana (though some prefer to refer to me as Diane, Deanna, and even Liana sometimes), and I am a Community Post Moderator Lead for Bored Panda. As my position title states, I am one of the people (employed Pandas for bamboo) over here who work with the community side of things on this website to ensure all is well, and while at that, I also help various creators and artists get recognition for the incredible work they do by connecting them to a large worldwide audience. Other than that, outside of work, you can find me brewing a nice cup of coffee, making a pizza from scratch, or baking brownies. I also love traveling, concerts, and cats (heavy on that, because I am a cat mom).

Wow! Fantastic colors and so much detail! I want to dive into your paintings and explore more of the landscape and castle! You should get a limited amount of prints, hand sign and sell them as posters! I would totally hang these up on my walls! Love it!
