Making a mountain out of a mountain painting.

  This picture was a bit of a struggle. It's been so dark that I had to paint in stages, but it at least gave me time to make some notes about what needed to go into the picture on the next session. I also started on a larger board of 12 x 16 inches, so it seemed like a lot more to cover compared to the usual pieces.

   The initial wash in.



A bit further along. 



End of the first day.




Several days later, I was able to finish it.


 Sky close up.



St Margaret's Bay (again), oil on board.

 Another view of St. Margaret's Bay near Dover. This one was painted pretty quick, I didn't remember to photograph as I went along and so I only have the final painting to show here.


   No coloured under-painting on this one, size 10 x 12 inches.
