First the old pictures of Ramsgate
this is getting small tree out of the 1860 cliff facade in Ramsgate
I have been doing some more to my watercolour
paining of the inside of Canterbury Cathedral from under Bell Harry Tower,
sorry it’s a bit of a spot the difference that probably doesn’t interest most
readers, but if I don’t record it online I will never be able to find it again.
I’ve mostly been working on this bit today. Apart from a bit
of red and blue for the windows the paint is all Naples Yellow (a bit like
magnolia in house paint) ivory black (which is a euphemism for burnt ground
bones) and zinc white.
I have discovered that a proper artist would use
better colours, I took advice and my big paintbox.
This contains lots of paints I never use, but some I ought to, the little one in the foreground contains the ones I actually use - becase it fits in my pocket.
in practice there was only room fo me and the little one
This is what they call a reference shot, I think and theae are progress photos https://goo.gl/photos/7cRNWEzDJxUeNxVM9
and this a photograph inside the cathedral

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.
