I've noticed a few of those books Steven and it's got me thinking too. In fact someone suggested a while ago that I should do a book on Caithness illustrated with my paintings. I think it might be a good thing for you to try, because books could sell in a lot more places.

Hi Caroline
If you search Google for ‘Photo Book’ there are lots of places that produce these books. I’ve got to suss out the prices and find books that let you have text as well as pictures. As you mention though, it does sound a very exciting project.
Regarding the painting, the sky and foreground shadows are a mix of Alizarin Crimson and Ultramarine Blue. The darker areas such as trees and bushes are various mixes of Raw Sienna, Burnt Umber and Ultramarine Blue. Keep painting!
Regards, Steven.

Hi Steven, when you say affordable how much is that! I also have noticed quite a few artists publishing their books so it must be something that can become a reality. It sounds exciting though, good luck if you decide to go for it.
Thanks for sharing the snowscene with us, it is very pretty and well painted in the loose RR style. What colours did you use out of interest, I like the way the darks are dark without looking losing that soft watercolour look.
