Hi everybody

This is Lincoln Market Day a watercolour on Bockingford NOT 200lb paper. 1/2 imperial.
This, for me, was really an excercise in painting figures, as I don’t very often include figures in my work. I also did a fair bit of negative painting around the various shapes. It’s a LOT more detailed than some of my work, but I think the subject leant itself to this approach. I’ve kept the figures fairly loose though. Reference picture was Sandie Bell, from PMP.

Hi everybody

I’ve just spent the last two days on a workshop with Jem Bowden at East Devon Arts. I had a great time and managed to complete this view of Sidmouth en Plein Air (outside). The second painting was completed this afternoon in my studio. Both were excercises in painting in an impressionistic style and focusing on skies. I think the first sky was more successful than the second, personally.

Happy painting
