Olveston, England, 15" x 11".
The main road going through Olveston in South Gloucestershire, with the White Hart pub on the right. A fairly simple composition with the two sides of the street almost mirroring each other with the high walls. I was careful to leave the top of the right hand wall unpainted to show the light hitting it. Maybe that figure could have been a fair bit lighter to give a bit more of a contrast with the background shade. It could have been a good idea to do a tonal sketch beforehand to get the values planned.
Beautiful work. I think that the highlight that you speak of works really well. I'd like to try and copy that at some point when i have the time. I've done tons of sketchy portraits recently and I'm beginning to look forward to try and experiment with other stuff.. Sadly the time is a little limited for that
