A lovely piece, Steve. The composition and palette are super, as is the brushwork.

Have a go Jola, it's from a step by step demonstration that will be out in a couple of months but the series starts this month, good luck.

Super work Steve. Enjoyed your excellent article in LP which has some great and challenging ideas. I missed the start of the month but thought I might keep it for February!

Love the luminosity you have captured here Steve. I especially love the depth created by shadows and light.

I’m looking forward to seeing how you did this Steve. I think it could help with a few of my issues; making things look 3D particularly!

Hi Pauline, It's part of a series that will be out in a few months but it starts this month. Making things look 3D is basically using a range of values to describe form, and varying the quality of the edges. Bit simplistic I know, but I'll go into more detail with the article. All the best, Steve
