New Forest Ditch art WIP

This photograph shows the WIP stages of a painting of a muddy ditch in the middle of the countryside of the New Forest, Hampshire, UK. The painting was done during November 2015 using acrylic paint on stretched thick paper. The first panel shows a red 'ground' or base layer with the drawing of the scene done using brown acrylic paint.The photo has been turned to B/W for clarity here. The second panel shows a halfway stage with base colours applied over all areas, usually darker than they will be in the final stage. The last panel shows the complete, finished painting.
The finished painting can be seen here.

New Forest Lyndhurst Hampshire


New Forest Lyndhurst Hampshire 

This painting was created during October 2015 and was loosely based on a photograph taken during the summer of 2014. The scene a small hill near to Lyndhurst, a small town in the middle of the New Forest, Hampshire, UK. Many horses and ponies are to be found in the forest happily wondering around quite freely around the landscape. For the painting some of the animals were rearranged in the composition and one or two exchanged with other photographic examples. This painting measures 20” x 16” and is painted on canvas using acrylic paint.
