Above Widdecombe in the Moor, Dartmoor

I shall probably knock down the fence to allow the viewer into the painting. It can be a problem having a wall or fence running across the foreground in a painting, i often knock them down or insert a gate.

This is really well drawn, I like the fence it’s as is ,a thing I like to see.

Extremely good sketching. Like the simplified style and think the fence is not that big a problem as it leads the viewer down the path.

Yes, Paul and Richard, once i have done the initial drawing for the painting ,i will look at it again and also as the fence will go in at the end of the painting, i can make that decision. As it falls away it does not compete with the centre of interest.

I like this and would agree with Richard too

Thank you for your comments, Heather, Richard and Paul always helpful to get other painters ideas
