The Green Lady

The Green Lady by Nicola Cowie – is reminiscent of old ghost stories, often centred around castles and woods in Scotland. The artwork is watercolour with pen and ink in a wide array of blues and greens balanced with purples and pinks.

Painted in layers of rich watercolour hues held together with lines of heavy black ink, giving a sense of light in the negative spaces like lead light work.
