Next Stage today

It's looking very exciting Derek

Thanks dennis, will try more later - maybe

It's interesting to see things in stages, often I start well, mess things up then spend ages trying to regain control! This looks good tho'.

Thanks Marjorie. I do this fairly often as you will notice and I just think it might help others. Don't know how it will wprk out but heres hoping.

I'm liking the look of this Derek.

Coming on well. I liked your original sketch a lot.

Love the use of bold shapes and textures, Derek. Looking forward to seeing the finished product!

Thank you Fiona, Thea and Seok. I have always wnted to do this again, having got the otiginal painting in ink and wash on the walls for my wife, so hopefully this will work out ok. The texture is quite rouch withthe underpainting where I purposely didn't smooth it. Lots of ridges.
