Scarborough Castle

This is my 100 Days Art Project from today, day 8.

Thought I would try painting a photograph I had taken. Actually, I was quite pleased with this. Tried out using gouache for the waves. No idea how to get the luminescence of the photograph but enjoyed trying to get the shapes right.

92 more days to go for this novice! Trying not to think about it.....but having fun so far.

@casablanca This is so nice and very well done copying your photo. What a great project to do 100 paintings! Looking forward to more!

What will you do with your 100 art pieces,esp if they're all this good!!!

[Sally Ings]

@casablanca this is fabulous. You have captured the scene beautifully. 100 art pieces is quite a challenge - kudos to you for rising to it.

[Susan Wakely]

@casablanca Fabulous result. What a great challenge. Not something that I would have the discipline to achieve.

@casablanca I think you have done a remarkable job of re-creating your photograph. Oh I agree with @summerfield about what a fabulous reproduction it is.

[Cazzi]

@casablanca What a great painting! I had to look hard to see which one was the print and which was the painting.

[Delboy79]

Great on both counts

[Kathy]

Nicely done.

[Joan Robillard]

Wonderful

[Kathy A]

Wow, you did a great job!

[Nada]

Well done.

[Casablanca]

Thanks for your encouragement, guys! You're really kind. I think perhaps copying my photos is a better place for me to start and it is easier to see light and shade in a 2D image than to try from real life. I will keep trying!
