Bristol Savages Sketch Night - This Happy Breed of Men

Weekly sketch night at my art society, the 'Bristol Savages', and the topic for the night was "This Happy Breed of Men".   It was English Night (we also have themed Irish, Scottish and Welsh nights too during our season).  So we have 2 hours to produce a painting based on that topic without the use of any reference material (so no cheating looking up on the web).

"This happy breed of men", is a line spoken by John of Gaunt in Shakespeare's Richard II.  Well quite an easy option I chose was to have a village scene, two pubs, one of course called John of Gaunt (maybe the other Richard II), and some happy people between the two!

Bristol Savages Sketch Night - Irish Life

Watercolour, 15" x 11"

Weekly sketch night at my art society, the 'Bristol Savages', and the topic for the night was 'Irish Life'. So we have 2 hours to produce a painting based on that topic without the use of any reference material (so no cheating looking up on the web).  I must admit, I had difficulty coming up with an idea, but in the end, went with an imaginary village scene and I superimposed the Irish Flag on top (Green, white, orange).  I think it worked.
