Watercolours full of promise

Autumn Morning.

Painted in Watercolours.

A truly magical time of the year to paint, after the Greens of Summertime what a delight to have Warm bright coloured hues. Gaps in trees, not full of foliage, beautiful light and in the Lakes long and tempting reflections of days going by.

Misty mornings with valleys full of soft floating clouds, to not want to paint or capture this wonderful time of year would be such a shame.

This morning I received two wonderful Online paintings, both beginners but both well painted full of promise and eager for the next painting project. 

With feedback after each painting, I hope students take each new step with more confidence, that is one of the important keys to successful watercolour painting.

Easy Watercolours of Bluebells

 

Silver Birch and Bluebells

Painted in Watercolours

 

I promise the whole of May will not be filled with Bluebell paintings, but it is the month of these magical flowers that we love to paint.

I though I'd get a bit of practise in before next weeks course.

*Saunders Waterford High White was the paper and it was lovely to work on, I do recommend it.

* French Ultramarine and Permanent Rose mixed the perfect Bluebell colour.

*Lemon Yellow proved just right for mixes of Spring Greens along with hints of Winsor Blue. *Masking tape helped to keep the white of the paper on the Silver Birch.

 

This was just a small study but I think it would make a super large painting. Having a go on a smaller scale first, does give me more confidence and gives lots of ideas on techniques and colour mixing.
