Buriton Church 2

Well, those areas of extra colour certainly worked. Good result, it's lovely!

This is spot on and looks brilliant now. I think you made all the right decisions about how to give a little more information without going too far. The suggestions of sky (a method I use a lot) is just enough and the tower has now the right level of importance, especially with that dark patch of shadow on the roof pulling your eye towards it so as to emphasis that this is the most important area of the painting. The decisions and judgments are hard when you paint in this style and towards the end of a painting I find, as you probably do, that you have to creep slowly trying to judge the balance between enough information and too much. On a course with Judi Whitton, I asked her how she made these decisions and she replied that she didn't know and I suspect she doesn't - it is just her instinct. I wish I had a bit of that and then I wouldn't have to fret about the decisions so much! Anyway, I love the second version of your painting as I feel it now packs a punch. Super work.

this is a lovely delicate watercolour painting, :-)
