The Hanging Stone, Dane Valley by David Whitehead

Love the rocks & the sense of scale with the figure. A great painting David.

Do like this David, wonderful rocks.

Nice one, David

Super work David, the light coming through in the sky is marvellous. Glad you included the figure so we can see the scale.

Very dramatic. Alas, the figure enjoying that view is not me as my vertigo would be screaming ‘run away’!

Another lovely work David, you are very good at painting old stone work. He does look a bit precarious up there's!

Thank you all for those appreciative comments. Stephen, I find that rocks and stonework are conveyed well with 3 colours - W & N Green Gold, and 2 from Daniel Smith's, Transparent Yellow Oxide and Lunar Black. I know they say never use black but just a touch of this granulating pigment in the mix adds the gritty texture I want. The fissures are easy with a rigger and add more credibility to the rocks.
