I don't think it was cheating to put nos. 5 and 6 in the same picture was it? I calculated that it would take me almost a year at the rate of two a week. Anyway, I put no. 7 on a red book because I liked the way the colours worked. I'm using a glazing medium from C. Roberson and Co. which makes the paint thin, sticky and quick drying. I had three sessions on this and realised at the end that I have to use smaller brushes. Now that is strange because the rule I've followed up to now is, choose the largest possible brush and then go up one size.

Hi Nick,
cheers for stopping by. All my paintings were painted plein air. Earler this year I bought a portable easle and was going out a couple of times a week. For every success I had about 3 faliures. It not as easy now its so cold, so I am concentrating on drawing. However I dont think painting from sketches is a bad thing & might give it a go later on.
Good luck with the onions, great project & a great way to learn.
