Here are two of the waterfalls in Johnston
Canyon, about 20 kilometres west of Banff. There are a few higher falls in this
canyon,but I think these ones are the prettiest.
There wasn't a huge amount of water coming down the canyon in late September when I was there, and I have tried to get that effect by painting quite intensely over a thin
white crayon resist.
I have previously written blog posts about water
paintings using this technique (with varying degrees of similarity to the
actual appearance) in locations such as Maquinna Provincial Park, Ireland, Kakabeka Falls, Niagara Falls, Esquimalt, Balboa Park, Japan, Croatia, Korea and even
Johnston Canyon.
