  This is another of my October classwork at Jean Haines's Online Art School www.watercolourinspiration.com The goal is to learn how to connect a group of similar animals. I have so many ideas and so less time during these hectic weeks. But it's okay, I will paint connected animals for the rest of the year and hope it's okay for you all. Are you all thinking I'm joking? So wait and see...

pure watercolor with a hint of gold on canvas

The changing colors of fading hydrangeas are pure autumn poetry for me and every autumn I'm inspired to transform some of their verses into a watercolor. Painting on canvas is something I really love too, it opens a lot of new possibilities and ways and let me grow as an artist. Inspired by www.watercolourinspiration.com of Jean Haines I use a little bit Aqua Ground from Schmincke and a hint of gold. It looks so amazing that I took some macro shots to show you the effects.

The spider as an artist

 Has never been employed

 Though his surpassing merit

 Is freely certified

 By every broom and Bridget

 Throughout a Christian land.

 Neglected son of genius,

 I take thee by the hand.

 And I rose

 In rainy autumn

 And walked abroad 

in a shower 

of all my days..

This is the great alley of Herrenhausen, it's a wonderful and famous part of the Royal Garden Herrenhausen and connect the castle with the city. It's of my all-time favorite places in Hannover and I have taken millions of images during all seasons at this gorgeous place. Because it's INKTOBER I have experimented a little bit with walnut ink and some splashes of Indian ink on the alley trees and I love the granulation

  The near Harz Mountains region has a lot of amazing beech forests and during autumn it's the pure joy to visit them. Especially in the morning when the fog is still between the colored tree, the ground is covered by fallen leaves and the wood has this fairytale touch.
