Adventure and a Landscape from WWT Washington
A visit to WWT Washington Wetlands is always an adventure
The wildlife, the views across the River Wear, and the iconic sight of Penshaw Monument on the hilltop make it one of the best spots in the North East for landscape inspiration.
The wetlands are home to incredible wildlife. Black swans, robins, otters, and all kinds of waterfowl make every walk different. The light changes constantly across the water, creating perfect painting conditions.
But the real star of the show is the view of Penshaw Monument framed by trees and reflected across the river. It's a scene that captures the character of the North East perfectly.
This original watercolour painting captures that view in a contemporary urban sketching style. Strong ink lines and loose washes bring the monument, the trees, and the river to life on 300gsm textured paper.
Painted using professional Windsor and Newton watercolour paints, this piece is an original signed J Blakely. No prints. No copies. Just real, hand-painted artwork. Each one slightly different as they are hand painted.
Perfect for anyone who loves Penshaw Monument, Washington Wetlands, the North East, or collecting contemporary landscape art. Available in A4 and A3, unframed and ready to frame and display.
