That last couple of weeks I have completed these two drawings and this painting:
 |
'Relaxing After A Hot Day'
watercolour and gouache
24 x 31cm |
|
This scene was a joy to paint. Having found a lovely tree (possibly Birch?) over hanging the river Marden, 5 minutes walk from my back door, I knew I just had to paint it. I took a brisk walk during twilight and came back with a collection of photographs that would inform all of the composition. Add to that some reference of me posing in a waistcoat and trousers, and I couldn't fail.
 |
| 'The Owl and the Pussy-cat' |
I'm underway with the painted version of this sketch. It will be my latest nursery rhyme illustration for
Art Of The Imagination.
 |
| 'Summer Evening Walk' |
These likely lads will soon be painted quite large (39 x 51cm) for
Galerie Daniel Maghen.
Don't forget, this Saturday and Sunday are the last two days of my open studio at Avant-Garde Art Supplies, Calne, SN11 0HY.

Merci Edith!
How long does it take you to complete the painting once you have sketched it?
40 - 50 hours depending on how detailed it is. For large paintings your talking 80 - 100 hours.
