No it's not their home I was a day ahead of myself.

Love those slurpy greens Derek, if you know what I mean. Great sketchbook impression.

Super sketch Derek, I visited there many years ago, you are in a lovely part of the country.

Thanks Sharon yes, wet the page and threw various shades and mixes at it.

Cheers Fiona, we were there last week before the rain set in.

A lovely study, Derek - the interaction of the bold, strong lines and the subtle washes work superbly to create a lovely atmospheric feel to the piece.

I really like the bold lines on this Derek also the mix of greens really gives that feeling of dense and varied foliage, also you get a sence of the strong bedrock supporting the castle, a really great sketch.

Superb Derek a modern mastery here

Thank you dennis, Malcolm and Seok

You did a good job there at the carpark, Derek ;)

Another little useful sketch Derek, it's all great reference material.

Yes, that's the main purpose Alan as well as enjoying.

Lovely castle Derek, it's a wonderful painting :)

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.
