As always, first class Alan

Marvellous Alan, you have so many strings to your bow!

This is excellent Alan and a great example of watercolour at its best

Posted by Paul (Dixie) Dean on Wed 22 Sep 09:29:00

Nice work Alan, and a great choice of seasonal palette.

Really enjoying this series of paintings Alan - some really interesting brushwork in the foreground and excellent detail in the centre.

Full of light and colour.

Someone should film you, making videos for Youtube or for commercial distribution - they'd be a lot better than some films I've seen. Full use of dry-brush, and big, generous sky washes, and one of the least wishy-washy (a pet hate) watercolours I've seen in a while.

I agree with Robert, watching you work on Youtube is a great idea!

Gorgeous sketch, with wide range of tone!

Posted by Linda Wilson on Wed 22 Sep 12:44:06

Beautiful - it really does remind me of Seago’s work-

Posted by Rachel Wood on Wed 22 Sep 12:46:56

Another beauty Alan, the ‘simple’ bold sky and the dry brush work, both gift it a lift.

Posted by Stephen Slater on Wed 22 Sep 12:56:13

Thats a cracker Alan, I look forward to seeing your watercolour demo.

Posted by Val Kenyon on Wed 22 Sep 14:34:02

Terrific, Alan. I shall check out that demo in the December newsletter.

Posted by Lewis Cooper on Wed 22 Sep 15:18:00

Wonderful painting. Alan, super range of colours in your tight palette.

Posted by Willie Drea on Wed 22 Sep 16:13:41

I’m enjoying your watercolours Alan, very bold use of the darker tones and great trees as usual. A very striking painting.

Posted by Tessa Gwynne on Wed 22 Sep 17:34:34

Lovely painting Alan,

Posted by David Johns on Wed 22 Sep 18:52:33

Beautiful watercolour Alan.

Posted by Dympna Marshall on Wed 22 Sep 21:09:11

Love your ink and watercolour sketches, Alan.

Posted by Jenny Harris on Thu 23 Sep 06:50:36

What a stunner Al! Wonderful contrasts, very sharp.

Posted by Fiona Phipps on Thu 23 Sep 17:24:35

Lovely

Posted by Romila Datta on Thu 23 Sep 20:00:42

Absolutely love this, and the colours used, Alan

Posted by Maureen Sherman on Fri 24 Sep 15:47:46

Excellent watercolour, on first glance I thought “Roland Hilder” I like everything about this pure watercolour, I’ve not come across your work before so will be looking from now on.

Posted by Alan Lidster on Sat 25 Sep 07:24:39

Oh yes, Alan! Beautiful work as ever.

Posted by Jennifer Alsop on Sat 25 Sep 20:06:58

Lovely depth with the shading and fading

Another autumnal watercolour sketch, loosely painted with some initial Indian ink brush work. There is a 4-part watercolour demonstration of Faversham Creek scheduled for the December e-newsletter, which I hope a few of you will find interesting. Cotman paints on Arches 400lb NOT paper 11 x 15in.
