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.

Color is a power which directly influences the soul.

— Wassily Kandinsky


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!

While missing the sea in the Corona year, I love this theme at Jean Haines Online Art School www.watercolorinspiration very much. I can walk at the beach in my imagination looking for starfishes, feathers, seashells, and beautiful stones.

Night falling on the city 
Quite something to behold 
Don’t it just look so pretty 
This disappearing world 

— David Gray


This is a cloud exercise inspired by a Thoms W. Schaller's demonstration, shown by him in the Watercolor Workshop last year in October at Chicago. The thing with clouds is very easy: practice - practice - practice!!!
