Making a start!

Yesterday afternoon I made a start on Fingringhoe Wick: February.

It was so warm that I was painting with the studio door open! For the first time this year!! The birds were all singing and it felt really spring like.

I haven’t got very far yet as you can see.  A  bit of drawing to place the main features, and some ‘background’ sky colour. Some interesting clouds will be going over this, but I find it works best to paint the sky in layers.

It is still very mild today, but very windy, and some huge black clouds towering up to the north, so I guess I will be working this afternoon with the door shut!

Hope your week is going well 🙂
