Added lots of figures, got the light totally wrong.

Lots going on here though Derek,

Yes but in a better version maybe one day thanks David.

It's lively Derek and I do like the original sketch because of the lovely lighting , onwards and upwards my friend ....

No painting is ever a failure, they are all part of the learning process. How many people can truly say they are totally satisfied with their work? I understand why your unhappy with it but it's still an effective painting non the less.

Thanks Dermot and Keith. The sketches are taking minimal time and little colour and in this case it worked well.

28 x 24cm over a bad watercolour. Too much water on the staywet palette results in a messy and dull version of my sketch (the top one) when at this delightful artist haven south of France.

Eleventyeight as my hashing pals called my new age recently, it's supposed to sound better. Trying to paint every day in acrylics using only expired credit/debit cards, and partially succeeding as they're only for me and not show these days.
