 The out line looks  good and the dark background should make it stand out, I’m looking forward to some colours on the cart so that I can get an idea what it looks like. I tend to leave the background till later in the development process, but each to their own.

Looking forward to seeing this one progress, I love Beamish! Always meant to have a crack at the stagecoach partly submerged in one of the fields.

Progressing with the old cart and as you can see, I tend to paint from one side to the other. I also masked out the metalwork, it allows a little more freedom. Not purist but that's how I paint.

Great to see how you work Stephen look forward to your progression. Remember going to Beamish with my son's school outing in the 70s, it's a great place to visit, we also stayed at Beamish hall 3 years ago at a family wedding. 
With Sarah, Phil, Ellen, Rose the dentist, and the granddaughter whose name I forget.

I don't use masking myself, but that has nothing to do with being a purist - I just don't like the stuff.  Nothing wrong with using it if it helps.  Looking forward to seeing where this goes, but it's looking good so far.
