You really capture that misty chilly autumn early morning woodland Paul. Takes me back to my childhood walks in Sherwood Forest

Another quick sketch, I’m really enjoying doing the  fifteen / twenty minutes paintings no time to fiddle . This was on very wet Bockingford paper it mostly produced it’s self so no real credit to me , the looseness is quite pleasing as I normally tend to be a bit detailed.

Bit like me Sylvia  or is that dusty and  hollow . I have spent quite a few hours looking at photos and paintings of Thames hay barges , or floating haystacks as I want to do a painting with several on the Thames in London. There are few photo as as you would expect and quite a few paintings, some obviously suffering from artist licence , I would think they are quite unstable but some of the images would not make a couple of yards before floundering. The trick was to have a double cargo , bricks from Kent overloaded with straw fro Suffolk both badly needed in London, some still worked until the late 1940/50 s . My first attempt a study really .  L

Rough sketch for a watercolour painting, imaginary scene but I used photos to get the period buildings then adapted them to fit my imaginary dock land. Whilst posting I have noted a couple of thing I want to change , the church tower is to high and thin , this will also bring the steeple into the scene  more .

A4 gel pen , one miserable wet and wind blown tawny owl . Haven’t used the gel pen for a while sat down and did what came to mind, one of the creatures them  I’m very fond of Tawny Owl, Barn Owls then the others in no particular order.

I was listening to an owl at silly o'clock  this morning.  He was complaining bitterly about all this rain.... Nice one, I do find the gel pens good to use.

I get so many good tips about materials from this site, gel pens, tinted paper, sketch books, erasers. I think i know what Santa’s going to bring me this year! Nice owl by the way Paul.
