More trees...more pencil!

The picture above and the one immediately below were completed today...I found that my brushwork was clumsy and unrefined, so I thought I'd rework the images by adding more detail and texture in pencil.I was happier with the result, so I went over the paining shown at the bottom of this post..if you compare it to the earlier version, you'll see the difference.

I need to complete 10 paintings for the mounts I've ordered....I will continue the theme of countryside, trees etc...for the rest of this series .In my experience they are the subjects most likely to sell at the festival this week end....I hope I'm right!
