Oil and water



Yesterday I went with the FABULOUS Cajun Dawgs to one of their gigs at William the Conqueror in Rye Harbour. While they played, I sketched a scene of the boats on the water. Not a good piece in itself, I spent far too long on it because I was working  relatively small in chalk pastels and as the tide came in the level of the boats rose so the perspective changed, but decent reference for a future acrylic piece and I had fun.
Today I have just had a play with the oil pastel garden scene and added some alkyd oil to bring the colours back to life. It's getting there.
