This one is on the easel at the minute, needing a little tightening up in places to refine the thicker brush strokes, and perhaps a glaze or two to tone down some of the chalkiness which you get with white - I could have mixed a little Naples Yellow with the whites, but - well, I didn't, that's all! This will be for lovers of brush strokes - I like mine showing: a smoother finish could be achieved with more medium: you either like that or you don't, and on the whole I like a bit of rough, but there we are. This is based on a trip up to St Catherine's Down: worked up from sketches, and photographs by my friend Barry Fitzgerald, who was over here from Ireland at the time. Well, why take a photograph yourself when you have a professional photographer with you? http://www.isleofwightlandscapes.net http://www.wightpaint.blogspot.co.uk

The sky was much helped by Michael Harding's Cobalt Blue - a gorgeous colour, stronger than most rivals that I've ever tried - I must compare it with W & N Cobalt Blue, of which I have a very small quantity left. http://www.isleofwightlandscapes.net http://www.wightpaint.blogspot.co.uk

Another classic Robert, your fave subjects but what an abundance of inspiration you have. As for bit of rough, me too in brush strokes and textures. As you know I would never attempt this scene - these days, but with the scene and your snapper pal handy I could be tempted.

Should have added thanks for reminding me to top up on Naple Yellow.
