I love painting and am a local amateur painter have got an N.V.Q. Level 4. I sell locally but not recently. I work as an Art technican, which involves allsorts really! I think more should be done in schools as painting is a good way of helping children communicate and deal with stress, adults too !

I do intend putting mine up but they are on my other computer, which has been hit by aTrojan horse. Bob has nearly sorted it. We rescued al the documnets and he is busy reloading all the software and files. Then you will see my masterpieces

I am a member of the SAA, great bargains on paints, brushes paper etc. In fact I go the workshop run by the president, Jeremy Ford. I know he features on some of these programmes

Tom, thats really good too ! I can see it would look good in acrylics with the composition , and you could put more texture onto the chimney that way. |

John Blockley is one of my favourite s, sadly he died a few years ago, i like his freestyle and the way he did buildings especially! The Jeannie Dobbie books too ,with her way of expressing colour "Making Colour Sing "is a great favourite of mine and she cuts out to place images in the right places prior to painting. For landscapes" Pissaro" Itspersonal taste afterall !

Do you think a pale grey chimney with a touch of brown on a dry brush would be better,please dont say pink chimney. .

hows about putting ina few horizontal and vertical lines ( short ones) to give the impression of bricks. You can do it in the same colour as the chimney on top, it will then show up just slightly darker giving a bit more texture

Thanks Sue,I'll try this one again using your advice,I will move the chimney to the right aswell,it wont dominate to much if only part of it is showing,i've been looking at some Lowry paintings were chimneys are a main feature in his work,he blended them into the skyline or to the edges of his paintings.
