Good work Stephen, it seems not symple to me.

No it wasn't Ceasare, he just makes it look simple. Description should read 'had some festive food'.

This looks so clean and simple. A superb rendition of a difficult subject.

Many thanks Stephen, I suppose that is through Wesson's ability to simplify the scene, makes it seem simple to copy!

Nicely done Stephen - looks complicated to me! all those straight lines and perspective

Many thanks Margaret, the buildings are mostly straight on, which makes things much easier,

Nice work Stephen, many of us have foolishly thought that we could easily reproduce copies of Wesson’s work. As you say he made it look so easy but that was the key to his brilliance as an artist.

Well it turned out very well, nice contrasts in limited palette.

Many thanks Barry and Carole. I think Wesson influences many well known watercolourists and many more of us amateurs.

Had done festive good at the art group today. So thought Imwould copy this apparently simple Edward Wesson line and wash, found it harder than I expected!

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.
