This (above) is one of two drawings I've done ready to paint today. They are both going to be watercolour and they are for the London Art Course again.
This one (above) is going to be detailed, but the other one is supposed to be Impressionistic. I didn't know what that was so I had to Google it!
I'm still not too sure now, but I think it just means not so much detail! On the other one I'm doing a dark sky which merges into a sunset colour at the bottom. There is a large lampost in the foreground which hopefully won't be seen much because it should blend into the dark background of trees and bushes. There are other lamposts around that I hope to convey simply in dots of yellow colour, but we'll see how we go!
This one (above) as I said is going to be more detailed. I'm going to do a very light sky with clouds, and then distant hills and bushes in the background with lots of detail in the houses and the posts on the right. I was thinking of adding salt to the road to add texture. We'll see how that turns out!
I'll be sure to show you them when they are finished.
What are you lot getting up to today?
I hope you are all well.
Have a nice day.

That's a good start to your painting. The Kinetic/Windstream guy is coming today to install the internet/phone. Then I will need to change a billion email addresses. Have a good weekend.

Thank you. I think it's coming on very well, but I'm not going to show anyone until it's finished.
I hope you get your internet/phone installed.
Why will you need to change a billion email addresses?

@sharonelton Because I am discontinuing my email with Spectrum and changing to Kinetic/Windstream. They don't have email so I had to set up a new gmail account.

Monet was an impressionist . It has a lot of that muted color and yeah not sharp detail.

Thank you very much for explaining that to me. I think I've got the gist in my other painting, but I also think it's a bit of a mess! I don't think I got the drawing right before I started painting!
