Thank you Timothy.

Rough and ready, you say...well, it conveys the scene beautifully.

Posted by Lewis Cooper on Fri 16 Feb 11:10:09

Another good one Barry.

Posted by Jim Morris on Fri 16 Feb 11:11:11

I like rough and ready, especially when it looks like this Barry......a beauty!

Posted by Fiona Phipps on Fri 16 Feb 11:16:26

Thank you Lewis, Jim and Fiona, rough and ready is usually good as you don’t have time to overthink things.

Super result as well Barry, a great overall coordination with the colour scheme.

Posted by Alan Bickley on Fri 16 Feb 11:27:27

Thank you Alan, I used a fairly limited palette which is one of the learning points I am trying to emphasise.

Always love your barge painting Barry in fact all your works are top notch consistently with great atmosphere

Posted by Dennis Rounding on Fri 16 Feb 12:24:33

It certainly not rough and ready, Barry. It’s beautiful.

Many thanks Dennis and Ellen, I am so glad I started visiting East Anglia as it introduced me to Thames barges.

This is so beautifully fresh with the clean, crisp washes. Lovely

Gorgeous! Makes me remember being there

Posted by Karen Thomas on Fri 16 Feb 14:33:28

Good work, Barry.

Posted by Cesare Romano on Fri 16 Feb 15:08:28

This conveys the scene extremely well and I wish I could paint rough and ready as well as this. Perfect.

Posted by Tony Wiggins on Fri 16 Feb 15:08:53

Thanks Diana, I try when I can not to overwork and keep things fresh.

Posted by Barry Hulme on Fri 16 Feb 15:09:40

lovely painting, Barry, love the misty atmosphere achieved in your painting.

Posted by Willie Drea on Fri 16 Feb 15:09:40

Thanks Karen, perhaps there will be another free week at Dedham and we can all get together in which case a visit to Haybridge Basin would be a definite.

Posted by Barry Hulme on Fri 16 Feb 15:12:38

Thank you Cesare, Tony and Willie for your lovely comments.

Wonderful watercolour Barry

Thank you Maureen.

Very nice, my son lives in Heybridge and we saw one of these barges while we were on a boat trip. I thought at the time it would make a good subject to paint but I never got around to it.

Posted by Janet Humphrey on Fri 16 Feb 19:36:49

Thank you Janet, whenever I am in the area painting I try to visit as not only is there plenty to paint but there is a good pub for lunch and a pint.

Still lovely use of washes.

Posted by Gudrun Ståhl Sharpley on Sun 18 Feb 17:08:16

Thank you Gudrun.

A subject I painted Plein Air last year and revisited earlier in the week. I am helping a fellow member of our Art Group with watercolour technique and chose this as a subject to paint. I prefer the original but as I usually do get a better feel for the subject when it’s in front of me that’s not unexpected. As i had asked him to do his version based on my photo first so that he was applying his own decisions to his work eg composition, palette etc, I only had half an hour so this is a bit rough and ready.

I started painting in 2004, I am influenced by Wesson, Seago and many of the great masters, more recently I enjoy the work of Steve Hall, John Hoar and Alvaro Castignet to name but a few. I paint in a loose style and try to simplify as I can. The medium I enjoy most is watercolour but dabble with…
