At last I managed the technology.  Still work to do though.

That’s better! I like the distance you’ve achieved with the darker tones in the foreground Linda, and the shadow from the farm buildings. 😀

Missed your first post, Linda, just been to have a look, wow! dramatic. I agree with, Tessa's comment about the depth and distance.

It is looking good, and as said you have achieved a good depth, the colours are good as well.

Just realised that the photographic process was not quite right.  It looks brighter than it really is.  The brighter version looks better.  I’ve lightened the sky and hopefully reduced contrast in the distance.  Twiddled with the greens too.  Where to go from here?

I’ve finally succeeded in lightening the sky and made other minor adjustment.  Hopefully it is finished now.

Thanks Dixie!  It is difficult to judge with pale acrylic colours as they dry darker.  I did it by applying a white glaze.

Matters not what you are painting on , it’s looking good already. As said it’s a good composition, and your skill as a artist is shown through. Good idea about the cardboard , don’t think it would work so well for watercolour?.

But why would you want to? The beauty of watercolour is allowing the transparency to show through from the paper.  Even some of the tinted papers that I use, as in Ruscombe Mill Turner Blue and Grey have a certain transparent look to them, cardboard just wouldn’t cut it for me!
