NORFOLK by dennis roberts

Lovely painting Dennis

Very effective with the path leading into the distance and the figure and dog. Could have been you and your dog?

Thanks Maureen very much appreciated

Thanks very much Sandra it certainly could be me but truth is I just make these figures up

As fresh and crisp as ever excellent mate

Thanks Dennis much appreciated comments

Love the wide path with different colours,and the tall grass, Dennis.

Ver nice painting Dennis, love the wide openness of the typical Norfolk landscape.

Beautifully painted, Dennis love the texture in the grasses.

Beautiful atmospheric painting!

Thanks Annick very much appreciated

I can see a difference to your current work, Great stuff Dennis.

Really great work Dennis.

Those whites are always at the right places. Another very pleasant painting.

I thought about you today Dennis, I was driving somewhere and I saw a group of cattle around a feeder, the mist was coming in and there wete lots of scrubby trees and heathland. I thought, that’s a Dennis scene! I have it in my head, wonder if I’m brave enough to have a go!

Beautifully painted that man! Makes me want to go there again! We missed our dog so much...that one is enjoying his walkie!!

In reply to your question about the slow drying acrylics Dennis, I have posted a sketch done in these "Open" acrylics, and yes, they can be manipulated like oils...I think that that was the object that Golden was after. They must applied no thicker than 1mm, or they won't properly dry, which means that if you want to do thick impasto work, you'd use heavy body acrylics first, then go on to the open version to have the slower drying advantages. Golden have very good info on their site. I've only used these paints for a brief period so far, and hope to post more paintings using the medium in the future when I get my paints and become more experienced using them.

Thankyou so much Bob I'll have a look on there site but they sound just what I'm after Thankyou again Bob most kind
