Light and Shade


This is based on a photo I took in Bridge End Gardens, Saffron Walden, and is linked to my previous post 'Watercolours from Saffron Walden'. The painting below is of St. Mary's church, Saffron Walden, also seen from Bridge End Gardens.  Every so often, I like to go through my references to get inspiration for a painting. 


I have been using Chinese brushes for most of these paintings. They make beautiful random marks. Unlike sable brushes, they don't spring back to a point, so need to be used lightly to get the best out of them.
