River Wensom
Oil on board 10" x 12"
Here's a couple more paintings from way back in October that I painted on my second day at Paint Out Norwich. I've got some of these up at the moment at Milly's Deli in Leigh Road. I started my second day with a stroll down the river Wensom and the intention of not taking on too much as I'd been a bit pushed to get my painting completed in the three hours allowed on the first day.
Abbots Bridge
12" x 16" Oil on board
After completing my river picture I wondered on a bit further and came across Abbots Bridge which I'd spotted a couple of days before and thought would make a great subject. I loved the way the light was catching the bridge at the time and the different textures of the stonework. The painter on the bridge was Tanya Pawsey who painted a lovely view looking down the river.
River Wensom from a Canoe
10" x 12"
On the other side of Bishops Bridge was the Red Lion pub with pub and paddle canoes that Paint Out Norwich had organised for the event. I wondered over for a closer look decided to give it a go! I've never painted afloat before and the rather rough looking painting above was my effort for the afternoon. A great experience all the same but rather difficult to paint with the canoe drifting around! Here's my set up and a local on lookers.
Sunset Norwich
8" x 8"
The day ended with a climb up to the castle were Jerome Hunt and I had a go at painting the sunset which we just about manged before the castle security started to lock up the gates.
