This image was my autumn selection for the seasonal series in "Landscape In Ink and Coloured Pencil". It was one of those utterly still autumn mornings, with a damp feel to the air but enough light to create a gleam on the water. I kept to a cool palette, contrasting with the foreground leaves and the fiery focal point. I tried to keep the surface as smooth as possible, using lots of blended layers and a final burnishing. Some ink outlining in the foreground gave definition and impact to the leaves.
