Quaal
Quaal
Original watercolour, bodycolour (gouache) and chalk on board, framed floated within a cobalt blue painted solid tulip box frame. The artwork is behind low reflect 70% UV filter glass and measures 38.5 x 30 cm.
'Quaal' is sometimes written as 'kwal' and describes the abatement of wind or a lull in
bad weather. It can often be observed in the sky as a physical edge, or line in the cloud. The work is painted on a cold pressed watercolour board and, if allowed to dry gently and naturally, will form tidemarks and interesting textural effects which mirror many effects found in nature.
The Artist
The Artist
Peter Davis is an award-winning Scottish artist and member of the Royal Scottish Society of Painters in Watercolour (RSW). After spending much of his time teaching in Orkney and Shetland, he is now a full time artist working from his coastal Shetland studio.
Painting Northern landscapes for over 40 years, it is Peter’s experimental handling of watercolour which is pivotal to these ethereal conjurings of the Shetland landscape. Instead of traditional brushwork you will see expansive washes of colour, areas of pooling and feather-like, bleeding marks. Peter leans into the natural fluidity of watercolour and its obedience to gravity - expertly directing the water but also allowing it to flow unpredictably.
