February 2, 2020 at 11:48 am #941584It was a windmil. In this part of Norfolk either a co rn mill or a pumping mill. Probably a corn mill. The sails have been removed.
Here’s Cley Mill I did in 2008 now a B&B.Doug
We must leave our mark on this worldFebruary 2, 2020 at 5:58 pm #941603Lovely work Doug, glad to see your computer is back and in action.
I really like all your sketches and painting.
Especially the last one Cley Mill. Wow… that is super.
( it doesn’t have a fence obscuring) and the painting feels like it has a bit more play in it.Beaut work -beaut images.
I guess we will be able to do a course in architecture if we keep going at this rate..
Cheers

February 3, 2020 at 1:11 am #941585When I go on holiday Kerri I always take my camera and sketchbook and look around for suitable painting subjects. Corton village was lacking in suitable subjects, this was the best.
While sketching at the field gate I was cornered by two Jehovah’s Witnesses

We must leave our mark on this worldFebruary 4, 2020 at 12:00 pm #941608Hi all,
your sketches and paintings are lovely, Doug.
I am posting my attempt not knowing whether I should consider it finished or WIP:I think the middle ground it a bit messy….
What do you all think? I would be glad to receive some C&C.

Happy painting!

February 4, 2020 at 12:58 pm #941586Congratulations Tanja, all you need is a few shadows, one to emphasise the roundness of the mill tower and shadows to emphasise the various buildings in the mid-ground. Nice foreground.

We must leave our mark on this worldFebruary 6, 2020 at 10:32 am #941597Just did this one this morning and although I couldn’t make out some of the structures in the back, I added one house. Watercolors on paper, 9 x 12.

February 6, 2020 at 11:41 am #941587A good compromise Lil, well done. I added a little sun and shadow to mine.

I think it’s the same place – I Googled Corton Mill cos I was curious, and this came up. It says Suffolk though, rather than Norfolk. Is it near a Warner Leisure place, Doug?
In all these things we are more than conquerors.
February 6, 2020 at 12:46 pm #941588That’s a great find, QS. A bit over my limit though.
