The Onset of Autumn

Comments

I have used Hahnemuhle paper and found it really good. This is a beautiful landscape Alan, and as ever, a superb painting. Love the autumn colours and the way you paint trees.

Another one of your super landscapes Alan!

It's a beautiful landscape Alan. A super watercolour.

Really good landscape - great colours and the use of white highlights.

A superb landscape painting Alan , I can see several different influences in there as it has the touch of some of your favourite artists .

Great to see one in full colour Alan. Yes I use Hahnemühle paper, very well made sketchbooks.

Masterful Alan!

A fab painting, as usual, Alan.

A lovely soft landscape, the colours are beautiful. I like Hahnemuhle paper as well, there seems to be great clarity with the colour - the only negative point is that the paper tears if you use masking fluid or tape. I don't think you're a fan of either, so that won't be of any significance for you!

Lovely autumn landscape.

Excellent picture Alan 🙂

I like the natural way you have drawn the viewer in with those landscape lines, lovely landscape Alan.

Such a nicely painted Winter landscape, Alan with a nice mix of soft and hard edges real joy to see

Posted by Willie Drea on Wed 31 Jan 11:49:14

You demonstrate how successful a painting can be, with such a minimum use of colour Alan. Love the softness of the trees.

I've used their rough torchon - it's not all that rough, but it does have a superb texture for dry-brush, while not repelling more fluid washes. I'll try the Harmony as well - one of these days - I'd like to see how the torchon works with a hake first: it's very good with a mop. You're going backwards Alan, we've had Autumn - however, you're clearly not a man to be dictated to by the calendar - and it is a colurful painting for a colourful time of year.

Delightful landscape.

Beautiful watercolor ! I really like your technique.

Posted by Lea Laboy on Wed 31 Jan 13:31:13

An absolutely superb piece, Alan. I love your use of lines and your use of shapes to form the trees. Beautifully done!

Sublime Alan.

Beautiful landscape Alan, and yes, love the way you paint trees.

Love this Alan - i do love your style- reminds me of Roland Hilder-

Posted by Rachel Wood on Wed 31 Jan 18:48:46

Strong composition, a story of three trees and more...

Posted by Dmitry Shaklanoff-von Seipt on Wed 31 Jan 19:16:16

A charming, mellow painting!

Posted by Anne Fletcher on Wed 31 Jan 19:47:46

We’re on a level with the view - I like that.

Very good work Alan, I especially like the trees.

Watercolour and gouache in a Hahnemühle Harmony Cold Pressed A4 spiral bound sketchbook. I’ve been testing out this latest range of watercolour papers for an upcoming report. Most impressed with it, and available as a spiral sketchbook, watercolour block or loose sheets!
