Maybe because of a lack of instructions, but for whatever reason decided it wasn't for me. That's why I envy and appreciate artists like you who are so competent at it. I'll have a look for his watercolours though.

Trevor self is much to modest to tell much about his way of painting. I'd met him once in France during a trip with "The Wapping group of Artists" guess you know that group. <br /><br />I'm a big fan of Trevor, his way of painting a feeling is soo inspireing. <br /><br />He's a master in watercolours as well.<br />René PleinAirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03368603005553165550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5051629921855027241.post-91787938016483634002023-05-04T16:36:25.964+01:002023-05-04T16:36:25.964+01:00Thank you very much Rene.

I guess, as a local, I don't see it through the same eyes as you, but we do have some exquisite and historic locations. I love your idea of not allowing anything to change ... I'd vote for that.John (JWJarts)https://www.blogger.com/profile/17802012611212667028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5051629921855027241.post-34331880694663820302023-05-03T18:45:00.650+01:002023-05-03T18:45:00.650+01:00Ow I love the drawing btw. exactly what Joan says,...Ow I love the drawing btw. exactly what Joan says, ... the variety of texture is smashing !! <br /><br />Are you aware of Trevor Chamberlains work?
