Description
I drew a series of similarly composed images in autumn last year and am still painting all I liked. Here, autumn is a motherly type wrapped in golden oranges, with the squirrels and cats chasing each other in eternal circles at her feet. The hawthorne crown presented a drawing challenge in watercolours; when I would've otherwise painted them later on with opaque paints, now they needed to be well-defined going in. In that regard, my watercolour training is also drawing training.
I unapologetically used Hookers Green, Autumn Red, and Quinacridone Gold as pure as I could here because I really liked how saturated they were and how well they matched (of course I mixed too, mostly with burnt umber). I went too dark on her face; I rubbed off most of it with a magic eraser, waited until dry and covered the area in watercolour medium because the smooth Bristol paper had become quite soaky there. It went well after that.

A3, watercolours on paper.
