High Street, Whitchurch, Hampshire by Anthony Haigh

I would welcome comments on any of the pictures in these portfolios. This is only my first full year of regular painting and drawing since I left college and as I am now retired that was some years ago! I realise some of my paintings lack 'atmosphere' and some are overall avisually a little dull. I am only just discovering how to get the desired effects and would welcome any tips, advice or critique! Anthony

This was my first attempt at pen and wash with the sketch made on site and then painted at home.This was done some years ago when I first retired and had some spare time. I then decided to carry on working with a complete change of career which took me abroad a lot and gave me little time for painting but the opportunity to take photos and make quick sketches on which much of my present painting is based.

This isn't Whitchurch in Hampshire - we don't have a High Street. Perhaps it's another Whitchurch?
