Christmas card Mk1

Ramsgate Christmas card a first attempt  

I am working on Ramsgate Christmas Card Mk II now everything has quietened down here – children during the Christmas hols are inclined towards excitement – frankly with watercolour anything can happen.


The picture on the left is the reference from my sketchbook that I am using and the one on the right the work in progress, I guess you can see how wet it is.



Here is the reference sketch for this mornings card, I really don’t like working from photographs, so tend to do rather dull drawings from life when the weather is ok.  

Still at a very wet stage, painting with dark, perhaps, I think it is time to put this on one side to dry for a bit.

Comments, since I started writing this blog in 2007 the way the internet works has changed a lot, comments and dialogue here were once viable in an open and anonymous sense. Now if you comment here I will only allow the comment if it seems to make sense and be related to what the post is about. I link the majority of my posts to the main local Facebook groups and to my Facebook account, “Michael Child” I guess the main Ramsgate Facebook group is We Love Ramsgate. For the most part the comments and dialogue related to the posts here goes on there. As for the rest of it, well this blog handles images better than Facebook, which is why I don’t post directly to my Facebook account, although if I take a lot of photos I am so lazy that I paste them directly from my camera card to my bookshop website and put a link on this blog.
