Newick Park finished

Final decisions made on the my Newick Park painting. A little extra shadow and where to crop it.
I think it feels open and hopefully you get an impression of the wonderful view towards Black Cap on the South Downs.

First paint on the House Portrait gift

Well, there are still some decisions to be made on the drawing, especially at the bottom of the picture, but I could at least get started with the paint. Picking out the red bricks will make it easier to find the leaves and the trees. Next the brown bricks...

The Birthday Present Commission takes shape

Today I sat in Chalk Gallery and drew...and drew! This is a house in a leafy suburb, so the leaves are important! I began the picture drawing them (and the birds) and worked backwards to the windows and the roof. This one is on quite a large scale for me, pretty much filling A2, so my people are bigger than usual.
Maybe tomorrow I will get some paint on...
