Monochromatic Landscape
“Monochromatic Landscape”; watercolor; 10in x 14in, (2000). Artist Private Collection
Monochromatic Landscape" captures a serene mountain scene rendered from imagination on cold press paper, using a single watercolor hue. The masterful control of value creates depth and atmosphere, from the delicate birds in the misty sky to the textured foreground grasses. Fall's confident brushwork brings life to the rustic buildings and evergreen forest, while his strategic use of white paper as highlight adds luminosity to the scene. The piece demonstrates his early command of watercolor techniques, particularly in achieving a full range of tones from a limited palette.
