Great exercise..that s the way to train your visual memory..<br />

Thanks Karl there is something about quick painting that you can never capture by working on and on it just gets worse.

It doesn&#39;t need tidying up, looks great. Will have to try that exercise, sounds fun.

thanks Andre yes give it a go you have to try to take in all info then quickly without fuss do it , its not much like the original but it worked well.

Great use of a quarter of an hour Dennis. I bet Seago did not hang about either, there is great energy in his work and you have caught something of that here.

Thanks Stephen its great fun and as Karl said good training for your visual memory. Comments much appreciated Stephen.

Beautiful Dennis.

Great stuff Dennis for 15 mins.

Thanks Michael its fiendishly difficult to capture that freshness it seems the only way is to work at lightning speed

Yes Carole I like it for 15 mins its like a balance if you do it very carefully it gets dull if you do it quick it glows but you lose clarity as I say its a balance.

You memory must be good mate, mine is lousy, what did I just say. Yes a good exercise and it worked for you.

Thanks Derek no normally my memory is terrible but its the first time I tried it , it was a bit of fun. It&#39;s a combination of memory of the painting and a bit of inventiveness, its nothing like the original .

It has worked very well Dennis!!

Thank you again Chandra veryuch indeed

Super idea Dennis, I might have to give that a go. Great result, nice and loose.

Yes, nice and fresh Dennis. Lovely scene.

Thanks Fiona yeah give it a go be interesting

Thanks Sarah its fresh because its unfussy

this was fun I stared at a Seago painting for about 10 mins then close the book and try and paint it ifrom your mind it's good fun sometimes you get a fresh painting like this . but never try to tidy it up it wrecks it .
