SEARCH FOR A LOCATION, PAINTING, OR ANYTHING ELSE

East end of Mere Lane, South Dalton.


 Well it was very misty in Beverley first thing but it cleared a little making me think of a late sketch. I set off with a concertina sketchbook soon realising it would be impossible to sketch where I was heading, up at Fridaythorpe. So I turned off to return home. After walking George in this quiet lane I thought it had possibilities. I rather liked the weakening misty feel. Could I catch it? For this I used my recently acquired Koh-I-Noor Gioconda propelling pencil. It uses chunky leads 5.6mm which allows me to work quickly. I added a watercolour wash whilst there as one or two cars passed me. Huge tractors towing massive laden trailers slowed down and waved. It was very cold and the mist clinging. I decided to head back home where I added minor details.
