In fact looking at it, I seem to have lost the rocks in the river and some trees on the RHS

A watercolour of the textile museum at Higher Mill, Helmshore.
Unfortunately we seem to have a kink in the chimney, which I don't think is there in reality.

Thats a lovely painting Sue,the trees and the grass are very realistic,scanners are very unkind to paintings,they tend to flatten all the colour and bring out the white areas,photographing them isnt much better,well not when i do it....
Another wonderful painting Rob,mill scenes are your forte(hope ive spelt it right),whats Ray Davies doing in the chimney,hehe...

Rob, quote me a price for the Helmshore pic. Very good and I refurbished the machinery in the fulling mill and the low building on the left. I could look at that pic for hours.... Mail me.

Rob, I have too methods for grasses. If the paint is still wet and is quite thick I use the corner of a credit card to scratch out grasses. I tend to do this around rocks where I have already used thick paint and the card to make the effects of rocks. My other method is simply to use a fine rigger brush and a sweeping flick of the wrist action.I like doing grasses!

Rigger brush is brilliant when used with that confident stroke.
I have improved greatly with this particular brush in the last few weeks.

I use the same brush and action for fine tree branches scattered in amongst the foliage

Another good way of doing grasses that look very natural is to use a damp flat brush and splay the hairs by hitting the ends on your palm or pallette etc then using paint that has a fairly small amount of water apply the brush to the base of where you want your grass then holding the brush on the vertical with the hairs slightly bent flick the brush upwards. This gives a thick base to the grassess and id much quicker than using a rigger. Nolic

I've persuaded the Commissioned Artist to sell me the Higher Mill Pic. That's it for a while, I can't afford to frame any more on the pension. There's a talent there and I reckon you should fill your boots before he gets recognised. Rob, you should seriously consider an exhibition.
Patron to Commissioned Artist.
