Autumn in the park 2 by Stephen Slater

This is a lovely watercolour and it has got great autumnal colours. Carefree and fun.

Loose yes, but pretty darned good

Really like the soft colours here Stephen.

Lovely work

Many thanks everyone for your very encouraging comments. I think that working from the quick pen sketch, rather than my photograph, made the final painting fresher. It is tempting to copy all the detail that is in a photo, which can lead to overworking a painting.

one word Stephen LOVELY . Its a lovely fresh painting. Well done Stephen .

A really nice fresh painting Stephen with a loose feel about it which works well .

Many thanks Dennis and Graham for your kind remarks.

I find the same Stephen, working from a sketch makes my attempts at working from a photo looser. Here you've got a lovely mix of washes too.

Thanks again Fiona, it is very tempting to rely too much on photography, instead of skeching, which makes us understand the scene.

Thank you Annette for your encouraging comments.
