Excellent use of a muted palette.

A tremendous piece of work, Stephen. So different from your other works.

Lovely, I like the detail as you say.

This is particularly good Stephen and I think one of your best.

Many thanks everyone for your very encouraging thoughts. It is more detailed than I usually paint, that’s why I used the pen first, which makes things easier. I do think William Newton’s work has a nice balance between detail and free washes. His book ‘Complete guide to watercolour’ has some lovely examples and good advice.

Excellent Stephen! I shy away from architecture, I should really challenge myself…..one of these days.

Really good perspective here Stephen.

Many thanks Carole, I think must of us struggle with perspective, it was easier here as I was copying from William’s original.

Another copy from Mr. Newton’s book ‘complete guide to watercolour painting’. I like his work, a good balance between some detail and freshness. This is in line and wash, rather than his pure watercolour original.

Stephen Slater

I am a self taught amateur painter, I mostly paint landscapes in watercolour but I 'dabble' in other mediums from time to time. I really enjoy my art, especially painting outdoors when the weather allows.
