All about Autumn is lovely, sure, as a gardener, I'm not really a friend of bindweeds, but as a painter, I love all about this flower and so I'm very pleased about our new bindweed painting lesson at Jean Haines's Online Art School. www.watercolourinspiration.com The small one was my first attempt, the final version is the one above after the wonderful suggestions of Jean to connect the two elements flowers and berries.

This is just a 30-minute warm-up/exercise, done after work on a loose background wash. I got these branches in a lovely autumnal flower bouquet and was immediately fascinated by this pink berries. Still in berry painting mood inspired by Jean Haines Online Art School. www.watercolorinspiration.

Oh yes, this is my month, my season, and my theme at the Online Art School of Jean Haines. www.watercolourinspiration.com And doing this little quartet was a lot of fun. Every evening after work I have worked a little bit on it and loved it. Started with a very loose wash and step by step finished each of these little motives.

Autumn is always my favorite season of the year with all its colors, amazing sundowns, poetic landscapes and so it's no wonder that I paint every year some autumn-inspired watercolors. This year is much more exciting because of the awesome inspiration from Jean Haines's Online Art School www.watercolorinspiration. The September theme is Going for Gold: Autumn Berries and my studio looks a little bit like a fairyland with all the gold powder around...

That I believe in fairytales is nothing new and so nobody wonders that I love the September theme at Jean Haines's Online Art School. All about autumn, it's colors, berries branches, the gold of leaves around is such a lovely part of nature's magic, so I can't stop playing with new and old pigment, favorites and forgotten.

This is my first attempt to the "Going for Gold: Autumn Berries" Theme at the Online Art School of Jean Haines www.watercolourinspiration.com. It's a little bit messy, and I'm not sure if I like it. But there was so much happiness in me while creating that I decided to share my blissful autumn wash with you.

I will never forget this special moment years ago on the dreamy island Koh Samui, Thailand. While walking in the unbelievable warm ocean water I discovered that there were so beautiful starfishes around my feet. The lovely Online Art School of Jean Haines brought back these amazing memories. Thank you so much, Jean!
