This original mixed media sketch was inspired by the small, characterful windmills that feel so typically Dutch. I was especially drawn to the shape and colour of this little mill, and loved painting its bright red body against a bold turquoise sky.
The windmill stands by the water, surrounded by soft greens, warm yellow grasses and loose expressive marks. The strong colour contrast gives the piece a fresh, cheerful energy, while the details in coloured pencil add texture and a playful sketch-like feel.
Red Windmill by the Water
This is an original mixed media artwork, created with gouache and colored pencils on paper. It is not a print, which means there is only one available.
Please note that colours may look slightly different on your screen than in real life. The artwork is sold unframed, so you can choose a frame that fits your own space and style. I think this piece would look beautiful in a clean, understated frame with a modest passe-partout, giving the flowers just enough breathing room while keeping the fresh, spontaneous feel of the sketch.
