Very good Stephen lovely washes and I like the way you have shown the trees, reflections and walls, works really well

Stephen, every time you post a new painting I'm sure I say, 'one of your best'. This one I think, is one of your best!! It's lovely. Love the graded washes and your trees are fabulous!

Just wow so talented:)Linda

The colours are unusual but very effective. Your picture demands attention

I agree with Fiona - this is really striking

What a lovely view and painting, so fresh and a place we would all like to see in person.

Wow, thanks everyone for your generous comments. If you get a chance to read the article in Leisure Painter it is very good, gives advice on sketching and taking photographs prior to painting a landscape.

It's all been said. I also think this is one of your best. The light and colours are gorgeous and exactly create that autumn atmosphere.

Many thanks for your kind remarks Gudrun.

A simple road turned into a beautiful scene.

Thanks Pat, glad you like it.

Having looked at the examples that have been produced from the article i found the version by Stephen the most interesting version, having created my original in oils, the strength of the watercolours in the painting has made this painting work really well. Well done.

Lovely atmospheric painting with excellent shadows.

Stephen Slater sent in his version of this month's project saying: 'I thought I would have a go at this months Leisure Painter project, from the excellent article by Richard Holland. I think it's supposed to be in oils but I didn't think my oil technique was up to the task so painted it in watercolour.'
