For our third meeting the UK Plein Air Society met to start the day at a coffee shop in the High Street. Oxford. It was the day the clocks changed so getting there effectively an hour early was a challenge.
I chose to do this view of the High Street and afterwards thought I might have made a more interesting composition, this one being is so linear. Also all those bay windows did my head in for a while. The blossom tree was such an attraction.

I had to leave early so didn't have chance to do another piece, but here is a shot of other industrious painters. Roy Connelly, Valérie Pirlot painting the same spire in Turl Steet.

Also one of Glynis Dray below, doing a fine watercolour in the High Street, obviously enjoying herself.

Great drawing skills for that painting Andrew! You were really brave painting such a complex thing indeed. I'm still finishing my Oxford paintings but hoping to post them soon. ps: by the way my name is "Pirlot", not "Pierlot" ;)
ReplyDeleteThanks Valerie. This one didn't feel a great success, a bit stogy and hampered by too much detail, and the thought of leaving early. Still one learns from the practice. (Sorry I got Pirlot wrong).
