Study of a South Island View N.Z. after an oil painting by John Crump

This works a treat, especially from a distance which allows the loose elements to 'firm up' if that makes sense,which is probably what you are looking for!

I think it's a challenge you're meeting well, a very nice painting indeed

Like this very much, the wide format is really good.

Love how you have used the gouache Bob, especially in the foreground.

A very nice study, Bob.

Very nice study.

Thank you for your encouraging comments. I’m going to keep with the Gouache for a few weeks to see if I can get better soft and hard edges where I would like them.

I really like this, Bob. I don't think there is much wrong with your edges, though soft edges are harder to obtain in gouache and acrylic without "feathering" or drybrush.
