Morrab Gardens Penzance. Spent an hour in the afternoon after a day in the studio to get my eye in for outdoor work.

Hopelessly out of practice

I have been painting in Gouache. I went in my car to different spots and just felt weird so I came home and went on my daily Covid walk with my Gouache in hand and felt much better to paint what I am seeing and experiencing in real life. The Park. I walk through Penlee park and back up through Morab Gardens. Slowly with breaks.. It has been cold so I have not been able to stay long and suffer for my Art. But the spark is there. The love is there. and slowly I am building up my painting stamina. 

Figures

Whilst I am still locked in I am struggling a bit to find new ground. and seem to arrive at doing figures. I love these. It seems the ground is the most important thing. What these figures actually sit on, in other words getting the white  ground nice and thick and dry and then staining it  and getting a nice patina
