Title: Watercolor painting Clouds over town Boris Serdyuk Description: NoSERB 1211The Watercolor painting on Paper titled "Clouds over town" captures a serene yet powerful moment in nature, where the delicate balance between light and shadow brings the entire landscape to life. The scene unfolds around a tranquil body of water, likely a fjord or lake, reflecting the dense gathering of dark clouds above, hinting at an impending storm. Yet rather than inducing a sense of gloom, the brooding sky enhances the intimacy and richness of the setting, casting the landscape in deep blues and purples that feel both calming and profound. The town itself nestles along the shoreline, with quaint houses dotting the greenery in a peaceful rhythm. Some of the homes rest right at the water's edge, their reflections gently shimmering in the surface below, merging reality with mirror-like illusion. The red and brown hues of the buildings add warmth to the composition, anchoring the eye and emphasizing the human presence within this vast natural space. The artist demonstrates impressive control over watercolor techniques, using translucent layers to suggest depth in the forested hills and reflections. The lush greens of the trees blend into golden tones, possibly indicating a seasonal shift-perhaps late summer or early autumn-further intensified by the bold contrast with the deep cerulean water. The distant hill and forest masses are painted in increasingly darker values, guiding the viewer's eye inward toward the glowing clearing at the center, where light subtly filters through, hinting at a break in the clouds. One of the most compelling aspects of the work is the dynamic sky. It's not merely a backdrop but an active participant in the composition. The thick, rolling clouds create movement and emotion, stretching across the sky like a heavy curtain. Though stormy, the atmosphere doesn't feel foreboding. Instead, it invites contemplation, as if the town below is wrapped in a moment of stillness just before the rain. Equally striking is the delicate play of reflections in the water. The brushstrokes are fluid and expressive, capturing not only the mirrored landscape but also the mood and weight of the sky above. The water becomes a visual echo, amplifying the quiet drama taking place between the earth and the clouds. This interplay emphasizes the artist's sensitivity to mood and atmosphere, allowing the viewer to feel both grounded in the scene and transported by its emotional undertone.*** ABOUT THIS PAINTING **** TITLE: "Clouds over town" * ARTISTS: Boris Serdyuk* SIZE: 19.8x27.3 cm/'7.79x10.74 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.
