Thames Barge after Alwyn Crawshaw

The bridge of sighs

Tried something little different with these two.Moved away from the portraity stuff (well almost) to see if I would enjoy it.
These two are demonstrations in a book on Acrylic painting by Alwyn Crawshaw but I have done them in oils.
The first one is of a barge on the River Thames and he shows how to paint it in stages.
The second one is to show how to simplify figures, and I did !
Meh ! as most teenagers would say.
