This is a really good effort Paul, a very competent watercolour in my opinion!

Now what’s around that corner….I know I’ll go down and come across something, a little stream and woodland perhaps. It’s nice that it’s an open question and we’ll all come up with something different. I like all the autumn colours….

Very nice view Paul

Alan, Marjorie and Heather thank you for your very kind comments, I just hope it’s something nice around that corner as well Marjorie.

Exceedingly good Paul.

Lovely rural landscape painting, Paul.

Lovely sense of distance in your painting Paul.

Excellent watercolour Paul, well done.

A super sense of depth in this piece Paul. You are growing fast.

I like the foliage, not at all easy to do in watercolour, and you've kept the depth in the land beyond: a good return to landscape!

Beautiful detail in this one Paul! Very nice indeed

A superb landscape and foliage too Paul, well done!

Thank you all for your very kind comments I do appreciate them . It’s interesting going back to landscape thought I’ve never really stopped doing them , they have been more of the background to a building or tree etc.

What a beautiful painting, I love it!!!

Thank you Valerie I appreciate your kind comment.

I like this very much Paul, especially your lovely soft greens contrasting with the warm autumn colours.

It turned out really well . Nice one.

Very nice painting Paul.

Good painting Paul

You are drawn into this view which is attractive and goes on for miles and is very well painted

Nice one, Paul, lovely foreground colours.

This is sending me round the bend Paul, that pathway has lots of depth, super

A delightful English landscape Dixie, and yes we all want to know what’s around the corner!

Thank you all for the very nice comments you have posted I really appreciate them.

Such a gem of a watercolour Paul. Love the lead into the landscape and the depth and distance you have created here.

Thank you Carole I appreciate your kind comment.

Nicely painted Paul.

Many thanks George and Cheryl for your kind comments.

Beautiful example Paul. Love the patchwork fields and hazy distance with the foreground leading you in.

Beautiful view, well painted. I love the orange foliage.

Fiona and Sarah thank you both for your comments and taking the time to look at my painting.

Lovely view, Paul.

Watercolour on A3 paper, finished off today the process of painting this is well documented on the forum . I enjoyed doing this and the interaction with people on the forum , also useful to listen to other people’s views and advice. Landscapes are where I originally started out and then like all of us diverge into other genres always good to touch base and relearn and add any new techniques etc .

About the Artist
Paul (Dixie) Dean

I have sketched most of my life on and off I became interested in watercolour following a spinal injury whilst in hospital but did not follow it up. My eldest daughter bought me a beautiful wooden box set of half pans about twenty five years ago I dabbled on and off until retirement twelve years…
