House on Sussex Road



This was painted from some sketches completed during class last week. The house overlooks the room that we work in. The weather was so good that we sat outside to sketch. It continues the theme of shadows. It proved to be very difficult to convincingly add the dappled shadows, without ruining a perfectly good painting of the house. In the end I have cropped this 8" by 10" section. It was quite well received at college this week, but I still feel I have an enormous amount to learn about painting shadows.

It turns out that the tutor and I are the only members of the class to have had work accepted for the Worthing Centenary Exhibition, which went down like a lead balloon.
