First stage, work in progress
Comments

Do you know, I rather like it as it is. Am I strange? However, I shall follow your progress. I am sure I shall learn something that will help my foray into oils ....

This looks very intriguing - I shall watch it's progress with interest.

Looks promising, I already like the sky and the light glistening on the water. Will keep watching!

Gudrun, I would happily sell it to you as it is! Think of the work it would save..... Still, if your cheque doesn't arrive in the post I suppose I'd better crack on with it: I've run out of Calor gas until tomorrow - so cold the paint is congealing.... so you've got a day or two!

He he Robert! That's a typical you introduction to this wip of yours, I must have a look on your website at how it's going on, thanks for taking a look at my latest pastel work Carl and the Tiger, the photo of that scene was amazing, certainly not something we would see over here! Just imagine a zoo in this country starting to offer photo's taken in the Tigers cage petting them, just after that photo was taken the Tiger got grumpy and stood up abruptly and snarled! a keeper made sure sure Carl was out of the way but he was still in the cage! He said he suddenly found religion! Anyway I digress, thanks again for leaving a comment, bye for now

I thought I'd use the Flake White I've managed to lay my hands on in order to paint a picture the way I used to paint it, in glazes over a more or less monochrome underpainting. This is actually stage 2 - I'm going to show all the stages on my blog at www.wightpaint.blogspot.co.uk. Even if it all goes horribly wrong.... Sheer, raw, naked courage, you see. Knew you'd be impressed.
