Capri by Carole Russell

Hi Carole, thanks for your comments about Ribblesdale in Flood, I saw this some time ago and think its outstanding. I particularly like the trees, a huge bugbear of mine. Am I right in assuming you're using acrylic?

Yes Ian it's acrylic I prefer it to watercolour. I painted this from a holiday snap, but fortunately there are some trees similar to these in my area, so I had some fresh insight into the formation of the leaves, shadow etc. Thank you so much for your positive comments. P.S. I too have found some differences with makes of acrylic, unfortunately you don't know till it's dry!

Thanks for your kind words about the Stour Carole. I am very impressed with your work in Acrylic and love this picture for the feeling and details.( I am there) Carry on.

Thank you Beatrice. I will be there in July - can't wait

Hi Carole, Thanks for your comments - they are most encouraging! I love the freshness of your work, it shows you really enjoy your painting (and is not at all laboured). You have got that "Med" sunshine and atmosphere down to a tee! Keep 'em coming.

Thanks Shayne - I am enjoying myself, just wish I was in that Med sunshine, especially today!
