Valuable sketch Derek will make a great painting

As Dennis said could end up a great beauty I like it , well done.

Lovely sketch Derek, looks like a great place,

Everything you want from a sketch, should make a great painting.

Thanks dennis's, David and Andre

Super work Derek, you've captured a good sketch for future reference.

Good observation work Derek. The figures give a sense of depth. Thanks for the write up it adds to the enjoyment of the sketch.

A great sketch - all you need for a super painting - will you be doing a full version of it?

Thanks Fiona, John and Michael. I am not planning further work on this subject

Know it well Derek. I was painting outside when a passer by who happened to live along the road, commissioned me there and then. I painted his hose with the mill creatively placed in the background. You could not see the mill from the view from which I painted the house but you can't paint Langstone without including the mill. Nice walk to Emsworth from here too.

Thanks Philip, good one for you, It was all new to me although having been to Hayling before. We are aiming to do that walk sometime too.

Sat in the car park outside The Ship Inn. ......My! what a lot of smashing work in POL this weekend will take me ages to view, but will try,. Have been away on a drinking and running event since Friday. I managed to get this sketch done in about 50 mins while the gang were out running 5K. It's a very popular view at old coastguard cottages, another pub and an old mill now a residence. A group of Kiakers? were just starting to leave the slipway. I do like to include figures in my sketches. This piece in an A4 book, sat in the car, it was cold. The paper cockled.

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.
