Lovely work Denise. It is so hard to get the details of drapes in fabric but you’ve shown it well.

Excellent again. It looks great unfinished, doesn’t it?

Your comments are very much appreciated David, Spencer, Faye, Marjorie, Paul and Fiona. I agree Marjorie and it is one of those paintings I will practice again.

Lovely exercise Denise. I love Sargents watercolours too- they look effortless don't they?

Love the way you have painted this Denise. You have used wet in wet techniques so cleverly and the end result is superb.

I've been working in oils the past couple of weeks and wanted to get some practice with watercolours today. I love this particular watercolour by John Singer Sargent. He did it on his travels and it was apparently unfinished. What I like in the real painting, is how he suggest's the folds in the fabric. Why it was unfinished. Was he rushing home for tea. Who knows. Limited palette.
