Let’s talk a walk in the woods today
This photograph by Andrew Neel on Unsplash was my inspiration
I started with a light blue wash for the sky
Next came the path
I used a fan brush to add a layer of texture to the ground
I haven’t used this brush but a few times
It dried in spikes after the last time I used it so I was able to create rake like stroke
Next I painted the trees
More trees
The paper looks ripply right now, but since I am painting on a block pad, it will flatten as it dries
Leaves were added in loose shapes of greens,
yellow and several shades of orange, red and brown
I darkened the sky at the horizon for contrast
I blended the blue in and deepened the other colors
I decided to add details with ink as it is Inktober!
Which one do you like better, ink or no ink?
Happy Painting…
Be Fearless!

I used an Acquarello Watercolour paper block, 9 x 12, cold pressed, 140 lbs
I used tube watercolors that I keep in a handy small pan palette
