Into the woods

Super effects Carole especially bottom left. A rather successful experiment!

Great picture, lots of colour. Not going with you to the woods, just got drowned walking the dogs.

Fantastic colours and what amazing textures!

Like the idea and the experiment really paid off.

Thank you all. I have used the gesso before with just watercolour but seemed a bit insipid as the gesso works a bit like a resist.

I've tried this technique myself Carole but not with the result you have achieved here. Love it!

Lovely experiment that you've pulled off Carole, had to check to see if it was one of yours, super stuff!

A delightful painting, Carole. I like the colours, its quite magical.

A fantastic result to your experiment Carole. Lovely textures and shapes.

This has worked well Carole, the sun has the look of an eye in a huge face.

I love this. Great textures and colours.

Love the autumn colours here and great textures.

Thanks all very much, really appreciate your comments.X

Stunning work, Carole! Love the textures and the beautiful blending of washes.

Love this! the acrylic inks and watercolour work really well. I really like your painting style. Fluidity plus super colours. Well done Carole!

I love the colours and way you have treated the detail in the foreground. Welldone

Thanks so much.

Love the result! I'm just starting to try inks, acrylics and watercolour - not tried gesso

Love the effect - very enchanting! I'm just starting to try out mixing inks, acrylics with watercolour
