Turnberry Golf Painting Finished

12th hole "Monument" Ailsa Course Turnberry Scotland

A change of plan on the Turnberry Golf painting regarding the finish...

I pondered and decided to give it the painterly  brush mark treatment resulting in blocks of colour instead of a smoother appearance...

This gives it a 3 dimension appearance from a distance then as you move closer the painterly brushstrokes show more predominately...

Drying time now then a light application of varnish...

Have a good weekend everyone... :-)

This painting and others are available here

Ailsa Craig Painting W.I.P.2

Oil On Canvas Board 12in x 9in " Ailsa Craig "

A few days on after drying and the W.I.P. Ailsa Craig now has some colour on it...

I decided to paint with only one brush for a change and to leave marks compared to my usually smoothly blended seascapes...

I'm pleased with the outcome and enjoyed painting it...
