A lot still to do in the attempt to pull this off, but progressing well.

I needed to take a couple of days off from painting this work to look into improvements to my YouTube, Website and Patreon tutorial delivery.

Back to the painting the next stage of the Carla in the Rose Garden Tutorial for you.

Feel welcome to ask questions.

Yes, I completed the watercolour stage of this artwork after 18 videos.

However the work wasn't completed. It still 'called to me,' telling me things that were needed.

I enthusiastically switched over to using half a dozen extra soft pastels and I tested out several blending tools. I'll get the edit for that part of the artwork to you next week. I take this part of the week, to write my blog, create my YouTube video/s and perhaps share short posts with you, but the coming video to bring the artwork to this stage is a longer one.

I love the combination of watercolour with a touch of extra-sot pastels for the completion of figurative work in the landscape I have been working this way for decades. What do you think? Do you like combining art mediums?

Open Mystery

Ruth Randall's novel "A Judgement in Stone," opens with this line.
"Eunice Parchman killed the Coverdale family because she could not read or write."
In open mystery novel, the reader knows who the murderer is, from the beginning; the mystery is why, and how, they did it, and if they will be caught.
In The Stolen Years series of novels, the reader has a view of who commits many of the crimes. There is plenty of suspense while no one else suspects who the murderer is.

Rural Noir

Noir or hardboiled, often detective fiction is a genre of crime novels featuring detectives or private detectives who see the dark, edgy side of life. As in The Stoles Years, Ryn Shell is writing of a dark side of Australian history these novels fit the rural noir sub-genre. These novels by Ryn Shell are lightened, to make the reading enjoyable, by the family saga story of resilience and love.
