This is the completed painting –
– and I’m very happy with it! In fact, it’s a happy painting, scudding clouds, sunshine, peace and quiet. That bank really catches the light. What more could you want?
I used a palette knife for the dry reeds, and to touch in the sunshine on the golden stone of the stringers and the very top of the bridge parapet,then introduced lighter tones (with a brush) in the grass in the near ground. I hope you like it as much as I do.
It’s a cracker! A lovely quiet walk on a glorious sunny day!
It is gorgeous. Also your commentary over the weeks has been perfect tuition as well as inspiration.
