Second attempt with first boardwalk

The more I looked it the more I just didn't like my first shadows, so I sort of smeared white spirit on the path bit,  rubbed it, and left myself with a fine blue mess to work on.


I think that's a bit better. When I started this painting malarky I bought short sharpish flat brushes for still life, I'm not sure they are the best for landscapes though, bit cartoony and edgy sometimes when you are looking for soft. Therefore I have ordered some filberts, partly because it's one of those lovely words that you just have to keep repeating, filbert filbert filbert. Must be time for my afternoon nap.
