Step two - Queue

Overstated sky lay in - some mid tones ceated along the way - aim is 'loose' up until the last ... or loose all the way.

I've admired this machine for a long time now.. It's time to celebrate the mighty Wearn - In my opinion a top contendor for 'best tractor on the beach'

Neither - Stturded Tools

Neither - Stturded

Very useful AD-HOC studio furniture/tool - Works a treat render-drawing eye level aid.

The wooden top crate is the one and only work-mate - A tool you can trust.

Studio1 a re-hang with new work.

Fleet - Old Girl

Fleet - Old Girl

Been meaning to paint this dignified old lady for a while..... went down Greatstone in stunning 1950's style evening light.

Painting is imbued with this 50's-ish feel I think .....Very limited palette - Cadmium red ground - van dyke size lay in (darks) - ochre - umber - dirty blue - pinkish hi lites - 4 hours in total
