Hi Malcolm...as ever absolutely stunning additions to your gallery today.

Fabulous - would make a marvellous dust-jacket, quite apart from being a great painting in its own right. This technique would never have occurred to me to try - I imagine the turpsy oil would repel the watercolour, leaving this almost bleached effect? You're certainly unafraid of trying different things ...

What a wonderful portfolio you have garnered together here. Thanks for sharing them all with us, they certainly show you are a master of your watercolours. Full of atmosphere and distinctly your work, Good for you Malcolm

This is superb work, your technique gives it that antique look about it, which I really love. Smashing painting.

Classic view of Durham Cathedral from the River Wear. Saunders waterford paper textured with oils thinned with turps on wet paper. Watercolour added when dry. 1/4 imperial as ever
