Very Nice.... Beautiful..

Lovely work Helen. I wonder if the detailed right hand tree obscures the lake too much?

I like this a lot ! Beautiful

Beautifully done, Helen!

It's excellent and the sense of depth from all detail in the foreground is stunning

Gorgeous; the reflection of the tree in the water is so good especially but I like the whole painting. It's really interesting to read how you went about painting it.

I like this a lot!

Really inspiring, Helen!

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.
