❄️ A Powerful Moment in Alpine History

This Sculptural Watercolour® captures the raw power and beauty of an avalanche cascading through the Bernese Oberland, one of Switzerland’s most striking mountain regions. The artist’s expert use of fluid watercolour and sculptural layering brings the movement of ice and snow to life, evoking both the danger and serenity of alpine forces.

🌊 A Study in Motion & Texture

• The deep blues and icy whites depict the fracturing and shifting of glacial ice.
• Three-dimensional sculptural techniques mimic the natural ridges and breaks in the ice flow, adding realism.
• The composition reflects the delicate balance between stability and collapse in high-altitude environments.

🏔 The Bernese Oberland – A Landscape of Extremes

The Bernese Alps are home to some of Europe’s most renowned glaciers, including the Aletsch Glacier, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This painting offers a glimpse into the transient beauty of these landscapes, highlighting the dynamic interplay of ice, rock, and gravity.

🎨 Sculptural Watercolour® – A Unique Technique

Prue Bishop’s signature Sculptural Watercolour® technique gives this painting a tangible sense of depth and realism, making it feel as though the ice is truly advancing toward the viewer.
