Autumn 'quickie'

Comments

Great painting Stephen, I love the small tree to the right and the reflections.I agree that sometimes you do seem to get better results than a considered piece. I have been doing a few quickies without pencil and yes some aren't very good but the ones that are good far exceed my overworked pieces. Maybe it's because the brush work is free and a little more expressive and the colour palette is what you really want.

The water is really good, a few quick strokes of paint with that hake and voila! The painting comes to life. Well done.

This is magic, such soft colour and a great scene.

It's lovely, Stephen. There's definitely a lot of immediacy in this painting that lends great atmosphere to the painting.

Sorry, couldn't resist one last 'quickie' from imagination, using a hake and rigger. I do find them exhilarating to do and often come out better than if I 'take my time'!
