This was probably a bit ambitious for my skill level and although it isn't altogether finished, I just needed to get it copied and posted because I've been working on it off and on for the last week and it's starting to drive me crazy!! It's actually a copy of one of John Pike's paintings from his book 'John Pike Paints Watercolours'.
The book is excellent and provides 13 demonstrations of the artist's process showing the painting as he progresses so you can follow along, which is what I have tried to do. This is demonstration no.2 and is called 'Woods- Late Winter'. I should warn the reader that whilst he shows the painting at different stages, this generally consists of only 3 or 4 illustrations although they are accompanied by a good write up describing paints used etc.
