Across the Great Ouse in Buckingham by John Whitehead

Love this sort of thing - clean washes, just using the texture of the paper and characteristics of the paint. Temptation to go back into the wash and fiddle with it is huge, but of course if you do that just once, you have to do it for the whole picture: and then you've got something a mile away from what you originally intended. A sound drawing - as this one is - is essential, of course.

Like this clean, illustrative style, John.

Thank you both for those comments. As you say Robert, fiddling with the washes would be fatal - spoiling the simplicity that I'm aiming for as well as losing the clarity of the block of colour.
