Leeds Castle Panorama Progress Painting

[ams]

I can see why this is one of your favorites. It is beautiful. It's more ambitious than I usually tackle so that makes me admire it even more.

Thanks for the steps along the way.

Very good work for the panorama photo, and very nice watercolour too.
Reflections are well done!

If ever I get to leave the colonies, this would be an unforgettable visit keepsake! Lovely work!

I recommend a visit, it is near Maidenhead in Surrey.

Here’s a panorama I assembled from photos taken on a recent visit to Leeds Castle. It was a dull rainy day so I have substituted a blue sky.
Transferred from wetcanvas.

All in all an interesting painting to do.

Wonderful work and I appreciated the step by step process

 

[Yorky]

Thanks, I think I did this in the course of a day, I like to work in one hour stints between cups of tea

Beautiful work Doug. Thanks for sharing.

Doug, what an accomplishment! The WIP was very informative. No wonder you framed this. It is a masterpiece. It must have taken weeks.

 

[Yorky]

Honestly it took a day to paint after the sketch. Joy.

I just checked, I did it on 5th August 2008 and finished it in one day. I like to get stuck in on a painting I am enjoying.
