← My effort at transcribing a section of Monet Wisteria painting. In the spirit of Monet I painted over an earlier painting some of which is still visible. The painting underneath was an earlier attempt last year to copy his Waterlilies palette. I just set out the pure colours and mixed as I went along for 20 mins. Reproduction of Euan Uglow ‘Spanish Townscape with Church Tower’ 1952, Segovia. The original is in oil this attempt is in watercolour. The image is in my book ‘Euan Uglow the complete paintings’ unfortunately I have failed to find this wonderful painting on the web to point you to it. I dare not publish it because of copyright!There is a distance photo I will put on my Instagram account in due course. Please take my word for it that the real image has more subtle changes in tone than I could achieve. Nevertheless a great exercise in studying the complexities of a master painter, thank you Louise for the video tutorial. →
