This is very, very well done, Stephen. A rather complicated 'House'. I admire your patience to paint all those windows!

The building is a beautiful colour Stephen.

fab work Stephen the building is amazing

You've cracked that mellow stone look Stephen, it's extremely well drawn and painted. The dark bank of trees on the right sets it off perfectly.

Many thanks everyone for your encouraging comments. Bruntswood is a lovely little park near Stockport, presumably the stone building was the mansion of some 'worthy' who left it to the town in the past.

PS Forgot to add, I went to my art group with all my watercolour stuff...but left my paints at home! Fortunately I had taken a couple of non-waterproof ink pens with me (of different colours) and did a couple of sketches, then gave them a wash of water. Derrrr! I usualy forget something, then have to improvise.

Thanks for admitting that Fiona, I thought it was just me who forgot things lol.

I like this one Stephen I like the contrast between the trees and sandstone building well done

I painted this from a photo at the art group last night. I intended to do a loose ink drawing using a sharpened matchstick but forgot the bottle of ink! So I used a modern drawing pen but tried for a free, loose effect.

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.
