Possible recycle by Derek Snowdon

Thanks Angela. The sketch was purely that, on the spot at the time with the photo to back it up, so I won't be doing much to that. The figure was from life and I have no record of it in form of photo or sketch, silly me. With skin tones etc I am really a learner and not sure which way I should take it, hence the idea it could be painted over. I will think about it.

They look like nice pictures just finish them best you can if they don't work out paint over them good luck with it ,

Once it's gone it's gone Derek, don't make a rash decision.

In my opinion Derek, your watercolour needs some more darks that's all. As a general rule, before trying to improve any painting, I ask myself this question: is the work still exciting me or is it boring me and becoming a chore? If the latter, I put it away, often never to return.

Thanks Dennis, Stephen and Frank. I don't intend to work on the watercolour sketch. You are making me think again about the figure intended for the recycle, but I will toy with it.

They look pretty good to me as they are! Sometimes, we are all a bit too hard on ourselves. Ask yourself what you like about the paintings and what you don't like. I am sure the former will have a longer list.

Thanks Thea, the answer I gave Angela answers some of your queries, anyway, it's gone now under the start of the bar interior.
