Autumn Toadstool - Paul Clark

joha59 23 Oct 2026

While the site was down, painting was going on LOL. I did this lovely scene yesterday. Paul was in his latest tutorial using many of his watercolor trics like splatting, blobs of water, lifting lightspots and ... salt effects, looking like many leaves laying on the ground. On Arches watercolor paper of 29,7 x 21 cm (A4 format).

Hey Jos, I’ve been out of the country (US) for 5 weeks and haven’t painted or spent much time on the site. I have to say - now you’re just showing off! LOL. I’ve looked back at paintings you’ve done over the years and you have really developed into, as you like to say, a great illusionist. This is beautiful and demonstrates your ability to use other medium besides oils. I love the detailed mushrooms with the soft background which highlights your grasp of using watercolors. So well done.

Haha Dan, you had to scroll back a lot. Watercolor is also fun to do.
