Newnham Street (3) - this morning, catching the sunlight just before noon. I got annoyed with myself dithering with a pencil, so I splashed on too much black and grey and spent an hour trying to rectify my impetuousness. I used mainly black, vermilion and ultramarine blue. I tried to tidy up the wonky drawing with black ink and a bit of Chinese white. Hm. It seems I forget quicker than I learn. Doh! Nonetheless, while I was sat next to a sunny wall - where Peacock's auction used to be - I was commissioned to do another painting. And when I got home, I found an email asking to buy another of my Alphasketch series. That's three sold so far (F, R & S) =£150 more for the homeless. Not the worst criterion, perhaps. |
