Nant Peris - this print
is unusual for me in that it isn't derived from a specific place
which I know. The initial inspiration was a Kyffin Williams watercolour
of Nant Peris but rather than go to the spot (if I could find the
exact location) and draw it as I see it, I let Kyffin's original
work act as my guide. Where his washes are ambigious, I use my imagination
and knowledge of other waterfalls to "fill the gaps".
As with Y Garn, the outline
of the mountain in the background is allowed to recede by using
less detail and very little deliniation of shapes.
