Title: Watercolor painting First snow silence Boris Serdyuk Description: NoSERB 1209The Watercolor painting on Paper titled "First Snow Silence" captures a moment of quiet transformation as the first snow blankets the landscape in a soft, muted stillness. This scene is delicately rendered with a masterful interplay of cool and warm tones, echoing the fragile balance between the fading autumn and the arrival of winter. The artist skillfully evokes a sense of calm and introspection through a restrained yet expressive palette. The foreground is painted in subtle variations of brown, olive green, and soft white, showing patches of grass and earth where snow has only just begun to settle. The snow is not yet dominant; it appears in scattered pools and outlines, as if nature itself is hesitant to surrender fully to the cold. The artist uses gentle brushwork to convey the soft texture of early snow, allowing the paper's white surface to represent untouched expanses, while watercolor washes provide depth and organic transitions. A middle ground unfolds with lush green meadows still visible beneath the snow's tentative embrace. Faint traces of warmer hues suggest lingering autumnal vegetation. Delicate details like low bushes and uneven terrain contribute to the realism, while preserving the dreamlike atmosphere that characterizes much of watercolor art. The subtle use of negative space and minimal linework leaves room for imagination, inviting the viewer to complete the scene in their mind. In the background, a horizontal band of violet and lavender tones separates the field from the dense forest. These purples merge into deep blues and muted oranges, suggesting either distant tree lines or fading shrubs losing their leaves. This middle horizon line becomes a soft barrier between the snowy foreground and the rising forest, marking a gradual transition from clarity to mystery. The forest line is painted in rich, dark greens, deep purples, and charcoal gray, giving the impression of trees clustered in quiet slumber. The dense thicket appears softened by the atmosphere, fading into the bluish, overcast sky. The use of soft blending in the treetops gives them a misty, almost vaporous quality. Above them, a pale sky looms with layers of cold gray and light golden hues, hinting at a sunset hidden behind clouds or perhaps an early winter morning filled with fog and frost.*** ABOUT THIS PAINTING **** TITLE: "First snow silence" * ARTISTS: Boris Serdyuk* SIZE: 19.7x27.3 cm/'7.75x10.74 inches' * MEDIUM: watercolor, paper* HAND PAINTED: Original painting from our collection* CONDITION: we tried to convey the maximum information with the help of photos about this productAbout the artists: Serdyuk Boris Petrovich was born on June 30, 1960 in the city of Konotop Sumy region.
