Autumn Sunset


 I'm not a spontaneous person. Planning is my thing, but after seeing wonderful works by others following this tutorial, I had to give it a try. This "Autumn Woodland" tutorial is by Paul Clark and for this lesson, there was no outline! It was just kind of follow the leader!

This woodsy sunset was painted using Winsor Newton Cotman watercolor tubes on Canson 140lb. cold press watercolor paper. The painting was enhanced with a bit of table salt and the General's Pastel Chalk Pencils, and a bit of scratching with a craft blade helped the water shine.
