Looking at a photo taken from the same spot you
can see the camera didn’t pick up the sky, which looked much closer to the
photo of the painting that the photo of the scene.

Watercolour in Ellington Park and a ramble
I am trying to learn to paint nature, trees,
skies and so on with watercolour at the moment. It is a very hit and miss
business, mainly because I paint from life rather than photographs, I think I
am getting better at the skies though I am not really sure about trees.
This one is Ellington Park today, with the wind and balancing
the equipment it really is a one brush and something that takes about 10 mins.
The model railway club are building a new hut
for trains or tea, whatever.
Oh yes and looking across the sea from Ramsgate
to Deal, I think it wll be some time before I master the sea.

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.
