I had just under an hour to kill before collecting Harry from school last week and decided to take a drive through Benwick into Ramsey looking for some good painting locations. Just before the golf course I decided to turn around and pulled into a farm entrance to do so. As I turned I saw this little property dwarfed by the landscape surrounding it and stopped the car.
I spent the remainder of my time here at Waypost Farm sketching the image before me twice, using watercolour to enhance the first effort and gouache for the second.

"Waypost Farm"...so quaint a name...Nice duo...:)
I was window-shopping online at LAMY's website after looking at your website, and now I know what to get for my fiancee's birthday ;) Shhhh... don't tell her! And thanks to you too!
This is a very nice one again! Good job!
Thanks Margaret.
Thanks Alex, glad to be of help, she'll love it! :)
This is lovely. I like the look of the two as well. same view different mediums. it looks as if the sun has just come out from behind a cloud in the second one and brightened up the scene.
I like these both - but the gouache colors are really gorgeous.
As much as I love watercolors, I have to admit that the gouache colors are more vibrant. Lovely job on these!
on this set, I prefer the watercolor for the smoother flow of design--but both have their own charms.
Two lovely pieces of work here pal. Strangely, its the brighter gouache colours I prefer as I think there is more contrast.
I don't want to choose one - I like both, I like the contrasts, I like the feeling of lightness in them.
Both are lovely, the gouache a bit brighter, but each lovely. You are inspiring, carrying your artwork around, stopping and just painting/sketching wherever the road takes you!
