Village Church - 4

There we go! The final grey watercolour wash added to the Tower.
Now it looks like flint - and when the masking fluid is removed there will be some lighter areas to really enhance that flinty appearance.

Masking fluid removal and next stages will be done in art summer school today - the last one of the summer - boo hoo!
Perhaps the weather will improve now summer school comes to an end - and I can take my new sketching toy outside and play !
We live in hope, eh?

Wilbur - Stage 1

I thought it might be interesting to post a stage by stage painting.
So here is Wilbur - the drawing from Summer School.

The background washes were an ultramarine blue for the sky and yellow ochre for the sunlit clouds.

This wasn't what was in the photo at all, but that's an artist for you!
We like to change things that aren't necessarily attractive into something that is. ( I hope it is!) Artistic license, its called.
Wibur's owners will hopefully prefer it too.
