I painted this with Sennelier watercolour, on Strathmore hot pressed %100 cotton paper. It’s approx. 7cm (3”) x 10.5 cm (4”) in size. I began with a scratching of blue coloured pencil; and then put a little coloured pencil over the watercolour as well.
I love miniatures in art, and words – a lot can be said in a small space!
Enjoy your weekend.
Janette, your color and texture are beautiful in this piece! I love loose watercolor sketches like this, they capture something in the spontaneity of nature that gets lost in more worked-over pieces. Bravo!

Thank you Pat! I was pleased I managed not to overwork this one (for a change!) – which can so easily happen in watercolours. I began with a scratching of blue coloured pencil, and added a little coloured pencil over the watercolour, which I forgot to mention, but have now added to the post. The scan makes it a little brighter,…hmm, I may dab a touch more watercolour to the original – very carefully!! 🙂

Sometimes small is the best. I like how the light is coming through the trees. I want to walk over and see what’s happening beyond the trees.

Hi Janette, Here in Castlemaine, the trees are just beginning to colour. However around Mt. Franklin and Trentham, there are trees in full colour. I am wondering how the dryness of summer and early autumn will affect the autumn colours this year.

Hi Margaret…. certainly dry here in East Gippsland as well…however, there’s a few trees about bravely showing their Autumn colours. Don’t know your part of Victoria well…. your photos are lovely, as are your artworks! Nice to say hi to a fellow Aussie blogger. A pleasant sunny day here today, though some rain would be great! Enjoy your day. All the best, Janette 🙂
