        Thanks everyone for joining or at least looking.

        Here is my lighthouse, first the sketch, then at the two hour mark. 9″ x 12″ watercolor on Arches 140 Lb, mix of M Graham, W&N and artist loft paints. First time using Arches paper. Nice to work on it though it didn’t seem to hold up as well to erasing during the sketch phase as the Strathmore did, but definitely more fun to paint on.

        Happy with the lighthouse, satisfied with the lower part, but not sure what to do with the cliff.

        C&C always welcomed.

        Really wonderful, Roy, I think it is done! This was a complicated ref, to me anyway, with its multiple layers you’ve so expertly handled.

            Lovely, keep us posted if you go further, it looks great as is. I find you have to have a fairly delicate hand when erasing Arches; a kneaded eraser helps.

            Lovely! The cliff is just fine:)

                You handled the cliff well. I haven’t done it yet, was pondering how to do the cliff.

                                    Beautiful Roy. I use Arches all the time and use a kneaded eraser during the sketch phase. As long as I sketch lightly, it works without damaging the paper.

                                    The simple lines in the cliff fit well with the rest of the painting just as it is. :thumbsup:

                                        Beautiful clean confident lines in this sketch, I like it very much.

                                            I’d be inclined to leave it. Keeping it simple works with this subject. Plenty of light in this because of the clarity of your washes. You don’t want to lose that.

                                                Your drawing is very well done, and the painting has beautiful sweet colors.

                                                Comments and critics welcome. I want to progress!

                                                Your drawing is so clear and lovely you could have left it there! (your style looks like a good pen/ink one!)……….. nice w/c addition though – leave it!:)

                                                Cheers, Maureen
