Landscape Watercolour of South Stoke, 22" x 15".
A second demo painting for the South Stoke Art Group. The village pub, called the Packhorse, has sadly closed and is now slowly deteriorating. I resurrected it for this sketch and tried to imagine as it was, open for business, with the village church tower just off to the right. Steps for the painting, 1) Sky plus initial wash over building and foreground. I dropped in a bit more pigment on the building while still damp. 2) Then the darker roof, in quite a warm tone. 3) Church Tower. 4) Shrubs/trees left and right. 5) Then a second wash on the road, painting around the car. 6) Shadows along the wall and foreground and then the figures and window details.
