Watched a private holiday video on You tube and used the idea, I did pinch the left hand tree from the photoshop collection and the rest painted with corel painter 18, not doing a lot of travelling myself these days so do have to find scenery on the web sometimes. Might come back again with an old model Land Rover.

A typical scene, but the road is too smooth surely?

Thanks Michelle, and yes Yorkie you are right, but labouring on roads is very exhausting work after all the grass cutting.

Nice scene ..like Yorky said the road was a bit smooth. But I’m sure you were tired after all the mowing LOL anyways the UK has so many lovely scene’s to paint. I’m glad I had the chance to live there for a couple of years. I have done several acrylic paintings on canvas of the UK.

Perhaps some spatter type brush for texture would do?

I did try some of those brushes at the time but perhaps puddles or pot holes would do the trick. I did attempt at the time but exhaustion was setting in. Perhaps I can come in again with some renewed enthusiasm again.

Changed the road but still fancy some puddles and a land rover sometime.

That does look better, has more substance to it now.

Thanks for looking and your input and tips.

I find natural landscapes to paint wonderful anywhere on this planet.

Great scene and the road looks so much better in the second one! You might try PIXABAY for photos. It is a royalty free, free photo site and has a LOT of photos for reference. I use that a lot.

Thanks again, went and viewed Pixabay, enough there to last a life time but getting through the register process is giving me some grip!

Returned to my Lake District painting and did some more brushwork whilst the wife went out did some spring gardening suffering from cabin fever after our long and wet winter.
