At the moment I have it in mind to work on some of the ideas gleaned in the last week so they become ingrained. That means sticking with oil for a while, but I've no doubt that the watercolour brushes will come calling soon. I got a lot out of the Turner exercise so am looking for it to inspire work that I have in mind. I've just spent the morning gessoing boards to start that work.

I am glad to hear you took another of Martin's courses I can see how hard you have been working and it is amazing to see what you have achieved in just three days! The Turner is my favorite the colors here are incredible. Thank you for sharing these wee gems. I am wondering if you will stay with the oil painting now or return to your watercolor painting.Caroline Simmillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09598525698486576546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3468843067640834925.post-40888792146325203292013-10-07T09:28:42.767-07:002013-10-07T09:28:42.767-07:00Wow Mike!

Night scenes are not easy at all and you have managed to convey them quite well. I simply love the study after Turner, who is one of my favorites-superb! Glad to hear you've picked up some new techniques and are back on your creative ventures....sometimes the best pieces are those we think about the least and do quickest, at least that is how it tends to work for me.<br /><br />Happy painting<br />SophiaSophia Khanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10460620362173586812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3468843067640834925.post-27645559334952267412013-10-07T04:42:17.797-07:002013-10-07T04:42:17.797-07:00Hi Mick, its great to hear from you again and what...Hi Mick, its great to hear from you again and what a great bunch of paintings you produced on the course.
