Latest Oil Sketch

I decided to do a couple of small oil sketches that hopefully wont take long to do. I've been doing large paintings but some have taken me a while to finish due to either the size or waiting for the medium to dry so I need a change. I drew a small 8x6 inches townscape out on Oil paper a while back but never got round to painting it so I've started on that one. I'm at the stage where I've just added more snow but I'm going to wait for it too dry before scanning it and positing the results so below is not the finished piece. The painting is 6x8 inches on canvas paper and the medium is Oil Paints, the painting is of The Nelson Tavern in Stockport, Cheshire.

Preliminary sketches for "Friday Night, Chippy for Tea"

I thought someone might be interested in looking at some preliminary sketches for "Friday Night, Chippy for Tea" These are quick sketches before I decided on the final design showing the long queue for the chippy.. I've also added some close up shots of the final design, the painting needs to be photographed professionally but for know these will do.

Not painted for a while...

I haven't got much painting done recently just haven't been in a good place and painting isn't at the top of my list for things to do. Anyway I've decided to get the paint brushes out one more time and try and at least get some of this unfinished work completed. The last one I posted way back in February I did a bit of work on it today I would say I'm around 85% completed so hopefully it be finished shortly. The photograph was taken last year in Manchester, the painting is oil on Oil paper and is around 20x16".
