Dockland Impression - Testing my new boards.

Looks good, Alan (even the canvas!) Its quite a lively piece there seems to be a lot of movement going on. Lovely painting.

I like it too! Great subject (I won’t let Jules see it) and if anyone can get the best out of the natural coloured canvas, it’s you Alan.

Super piece, canvas looks really exciting. Really love your loose style Alan. So evocative.

Well worked Alan

Great, Alan. I particularly like the energy in the water!

Excellent demo on/of new boards!

Love the loose use of paint works well on this board.

A good painting, Alan and lovely colours. I’m testing colours and style at the moment, but not getting to where I want to be.

Thanks all, appreciated. The canvas does come over a bit grainy in the photo, that's because it is grainy. However, for quick outdoor oil sketching this is ideal. I've painted this very thinly so the grain will show more and I could have got a bit more detail from it if I had wanted. (I think!).

Good lively scene there, Alan. I know this is a quick test, but it looks a great subject. You said the boards are very coarse, I can see the grain all over the painting, but I've just noticed I'm seeing it practically full size on my monitor.

I like this Alan , I love the feel of dockyard and cranes and busy . Nice Painting Alan

A busy scene expressively captured, can see the course grain of the canvass looks effective.

I love the colours you've used Alan. I'm using natural canvasses at the moment, I like them too, you've got the mid tone as soon as you start.

Brilliant Alan, I like your Derrick's, I've been struggling with a telegraph pole today.lol. those boards have taken my interest. Thankyou for demo.

Beautiful colours and I like the immediacy without too much detail. I was interested to read your opinion of the boards too, the unpainted parts work well I think.

Worked well Alan, lovely to be pleased with a new support.

I love this, Alan.
