Grasmere Cottages/1 by Stephen Slater

It has a different feel but is equally appealing. Love the soft muted washes.

Many thanks once again Seok.<br />

Not seen the sketch as yet, but this is a great composition and I also love the muted colours.

This looks an idyllic village Stephen! I like the gentle lilt of the land and how the cottages fit snugly into this setting.

Wonderful Stephen a real beauty

Many thanks, Alan, Sarah and Dennis for your kind comments, much appreciated.

The variations in the foreground wash adds detail and means that there is now need to crop it! Avery nice piece of work, Stephen.

Many thanks Lionel.

I haven&#39;t seen the sketch yet but I like this Stephen.

Thanks once again Fiona.

I&#39;ve seen the sketch and, whilst I like both versions, I prefer it before the wash was added. Nonetheless they are both great.

Many thanks Michael, I think I agree with you, better to have left it as A pen sketch and then perhaps do a paining from that later. Which I may do at some stage, it was very nice and quiet in Grasmere in between the rain!
