Great painting, love the light..

Lovely work Stephen, typical big lorry getting in the way at a crucial time!

Many thanks Harry and Ros for your encouraging comments.

Well done Stephen - there is an alternative option here - you could go into painting lorries.

Thanks Michael, the other incident that occured was that someone came behind me, hovered for a few moments behind my right shoulder and then walked away, without a word. Rather unsettling!

Lovely little painting Stephen and very brave of you to paint outside. I have tried it only once and didn't like it very much. Sketching is ok but actually transporting all your stuff to be able to paint is too much for me. I do admire people who it and I'm sure that they get out more of the painti

Ng experience than those, like me, who only paint in their studio. Sorry, I did something wrong with my IPad and posted my reply in the middle of the sentence. Satu.

Thanks Satu, I take a stool, a small paint box with a little water container attached and a 12 x 10'' block of watercolour paper and a couple of brushes, it's very easy to carry. I have just got an Ipad and I can understand how easy it is to make mistakes, hope I get the hang of it!

I painted this on Monday, while the sun was still shining. I wanted to see if I could draw and paint a building just using a brush. All was going well untill the largest lorry I have ever seen decide to park between me and the building! Whether that was the cause but when i got home I realised things had gone wrong. After a bit of remedial work at the art group yesterday, i don't thing it looks too bad. Oh the trials of painting outdoors!

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.
