Watercolour sketch done,  not sure about the path, tried to get a South of France pink. Palette based on our garden which has many shades of green with hints of colour here and there.

    Gorgeous, Adrienne.  It makes you want to get into the garden and explore ...

    Thanks Jeff, now struggling with the Van Gogh style!

    Lovely fresh and vigorous painting Adrienne. The path is definitely working better (love the colour) now its edges are softened with plants. I think you could be bolder still with shadows on it but I appreciate shadows are difficult to do well, and it helps to have reference to work from. As Lucy and Jeff have said you have conjured an amazingly inviting and appealing scene -which will be tonic to the eyes when we face winter again.

    I hope you have a lot of fun with the textural VVG one and I look forward to seeing it.
