This is a lovely painting Julie, it has an autumnal feel to it with the browns and oranges and as Fiona has said all those lovely greens!

Beautifully done, Julie. There's so much life and movement in the painting, it's super!

Thank you everyone for your kind comments. Fiona - I have three of ready-made greens in the Artisan range - a sap green and a viridian colour and a really useful Olive green. I often use these as bases to mix other greens by adding different colours to them, as well as the usual mixtures of various blues and yellows. I am gradually beginning to predict reasonably well the colours I will achieve - but I still have a lot to learn about colour theory!!

I used to live very close to the court and would walk my dog in the grounds often crossing this little bridge. It is painted in Artisan oils on Fabriano Tela paper measuring 40 by 30 cm. This time I attempted something a little different andstarted with a complementary underpainting in bright scarlet acrylic paint, having read about this technique in an earlier edition of 'The Artist'. I am very pleased with the resulting glow it gives to the painting,.
