Teddington Lock and Weir

With the Dodgers to Teddington Lock and Weir.  The uppermost point of the tidal Thames.  One of my favourite locations and a couple more sketches.  Trying out a technique seen in the Dulwich Gallery exhibition of John Singer Sargent watercolours - bold brush strokes rolling around each other.  he uses different colours; I wasn't courageous enough but its a new learning curve.....

Hunting hall farm

15/9/2017

Our annual visit to Northumberland clutching my new Moleskin. They are expensive but an absolute joy to work in.  Hunting Hall Farm is our home of choice there - opposite Holy Island - and whilst over the years have made several attempts at the 'yard' none have worked.  But was reading Ravilious & Co - an excellent book from which I learnt he would exaggerate trees and if a pole was in the foreground he'd draw it.  I'm in two minds about that; Turner would readily move, omit or even introduce things not there for the composition.

​I've also found I've developed a tenancy for stronger colours.  Not sure about that but here's the results.  The 'yard' taken from a more acute angle resolving some of my earlier issues.
