Watercolour sketch in Canterbury, dull blog post for a dull day.

Here is the half completed painting of Canterbury painted today from the upstairs window of Chocolate Café. Some experiments here in trying to sketch the people in the street, as the whole painting is A4 these are very small, although I think in reality they should be even smaller, but I assume the only way with this sort of thing is to go on trying .

Sorry it’s another painting from the same spot, but my children like to shop in Canterbury on Sunday afternoon and I am allergic to shopping, as soon as the weather gets better I will be able to sit outside and paint there.


Also a picture of work in situ for reference.

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.
