An excellent painting John of a solid lump of a castle! Must admit I hadn’t heard of Colley Whisson, so just looked him up and see why you admire his work, amazing skills.

Hello Tessa! Thanks for your comment! Discovering Colley Whisson was a stroke of luck for me! I enjoy his work very much. I’ve seen him on YouTube and he’s a very gentle chap too 🤓😊

Wonderful depiction of a medieval pile, John. Love the consistant patina of your marks.

This is so colourful - although the colours are harmonious, they really pop.

This is a quick study on Clairfontaine oil painting paper of a painting by one of my favourite painters - Colley Whisson. I gave myself a limited palette and half an hour to see where I could get. I'm pleased enough although Colley did all the heavy lifting :)
