Cottages Above Flash

This works very well and good try with the DS paints

Just love everything about this one David its a funny game is painting and i don't know why but this is a Beauty. Well done.

This has such a special feel to it. I love the quirky cottages and those super foreground washes.

Love this you have captured the the feel of flash beautifully,I regularly walk this area and try to paint scenes from the surrounding moors.could you tell me David do you paint on location or take photos and paint indoors?

Love the atmosphere in this one and the colours work brilliantly together. Lovely!!<br />

You&#39;ve got lots of atmosphere going on in this David, you&#39;ve used the paint to great effect.

Super colours and textures describe this windswept row of houses. Lovely work.

Great sky, love the isolated look of these cottages David.

Thank you all for your kind comments. I think once you&#39;ve found what you really want to paint, and the materials that make painting it fun, your results do start to improve.<br /><br />Robert, I do prefer to paint outdoors, in front of the subject, but time and circumstances don&#39;t always favour landscape painters. Time permitting, I will park and walk in wild country to a spot where the view inspires me to spend 1-2 hours painting it. If time is short, however, or the weather too wet, I will use the car as a mobile studio, drive around, collecting sketches and photos then paint from these at home, as soon as possible afterwards.<br /><br />The snag with the car-borne method is parking. Sod&#39;s Law of Moorland Painting states &quot;Where there is a lay-by there will be no appealing subjects within two miles. Where you see an appealing subject, there won&#39;t be a lay-by for two miles&quot;.
