This is a photo I took at the September 2007 Get Together. This is the village store that features in the film “Calendar Girls”.

Photo in RIL

Here’s the 7×5 sketch I did on site:

And here’s my painting 15 x 11 on a Langton rough pad.

Hope you like this quintessential Village scene.

Hi David. Love the immediacy of your treatment of this subject. How did you execute the road markings?

As long as there is light, I will paint it.

Doug, Merri, thank you. Because I did it on sketchbook, which is not so big, I could quickly finish it.

John, I used white gel pen for road markings. At first I wanted to use the paper, but it was accidentally painted.

Hi Lyndy,

Doug is right. There are many painting applications you can download on Play Store for Android or App Store for iOS. I paint on my phone a lot.

I can show you how I do it. Here is the video of my cellphone painting process from 2014. I included notes on this video, too, for each step.

I enjoyed this challenge. It’s my attempt at painting/drawing loose. Not really happy with it but it was a good learning experience. I have no idea why I decided to draw the little person in micron pen.:lol:
About 9×5 inches.

C&C welcome and appreciated

I’m glad you enjoyed painting this, every challenge is a learning process.

Kettlewell is in a deep glacial valley and the hills behind the village are quite steep.

I’ve tried several painting apps on my phone in the past, but I was not happy with any of them. Painting with a real paintbrush was always tons easier. Thanks for the link, David.

Lyndy, I understand that. It is a bit hard at first to paint on your phone. When I did for the first time in 2013, I also found it very difficult, especially because I used my finger to paint. If your phone has a stylus pen, it will be much easier. You can also get your own cheap stylus if the phone doesn’t come with a pen.

Trust me, once you get used to it, you will paint or sketch every where.
