an overview of the area i have coloured so far

med_gallery_17883_3493_499241.jpg3645

the pavements were just too pale

 

so i have darkened them.....i might do more....but first i want to see how this colours works first

photographed from HERE the white wine bar has a definite floaty effect

it is really important to look at what you are photographing....or touch it up if you want a better look

med_gallery_17883_3493_497722.jpg3687

the pavements also need sorting

here its part done part to go

med_gallery_17883_3493_448806.jpg3688

and again from the left end

the point you photograph has a lot of impact on how it is perceived

more shots...with the overhead fluorescent off, and the velux window blind opened for natural light

med_gallery_17883_3493_351130.jpg3691

the room was actually really dark, but the camera adjusted and you now have more  realistic shadows

 

the natural light now bleeds in from above and behind...a big difference in comparison to 3687

med_gallery_17883_3493_470330.jpg3692

 

and adding some additional scenic detail

A Waite Waine Bar???  Back in the days of Minis and Dièsse Citroens!!

By heck lass .... you must have been real Movers and Shakers doon there in Spudlinc  Spalding - way ahead of the game.

:tomato:

Up here in Blaydon we're still awaiting our first immigrants / UKIP politicos waving pint glasses at us.

continuing...

meantime back to the cobbles

first off get a flat screw driver and tart to make the cobbles lean, more often than not when you look at old real ones the cobbles are no longer flat

 

I was looking closely at every photograph for that tart... The area is looking fantastic, love the views between the buildings.

well being originally a southern softie.....i used to frequent the odd wine bar in Windsor and in town (London). Although my favourite was a decent Singapore Sling made by a bartender taking his exams.....then he went on to work at the Ritz......which was a shame because many bars moan about the 1/12th gill even if you offer to buy 2.

 

one sixth gin

one sixth cherry brandy

one 12th (you had to buy two drinks at a time) cointrau

one 12th benedictine

orange bitters (angastura at a push)

pineapple juice

and  nice wedge of lime.....

cucumber optional......

had a wimsical nick name apparently in the business......probably best not said on here LOL.......

 

some tart once put a celery stick in......must have been blotto on bloody marys!!!!

late of Kalboro Union Station.

I think she is on holiday at the moment...(in a drying out tank sort of way)...but there is going to be a dark alley.....so I suspect you'll see her grab that spot in due time.......

She probably didn't get much passing trade in that spot, what with the Police car behind her...

So, what you're saying is, it's not real?

 

Well, that's not good enough, I'm sorry, but I expect a certain level of veracity in Jaz's modelling... If she's going to start making stuff up then... Well!

Morning Jaz,

I can sympathise with the pain issue as I had my right arm and shoulder suffer the effects of RSI caused by simply spending too long on the computer at work - almost every element of the motor trade now requires computer usage! I am right handed so, on my doctor's advice I switched to my left and practised using the mouse with that (Microsoft give you those free games to practice 'mouse control' with, such as Solitaire!). It was surprising how quickly I managed to switch, but of course it brasses off any family or workmates who were accustomed to having the mouse on the right! I can still switch from one to the other so if I can do it at my age...............

I really hope that you feel better soon - try not to do too much until you feel up to it. I read somewhere about replacing the mouse with a pad similar to that which you get on a lap top but I don't know how far it got - probably worth researching?

Kind regards to you and Kal,

Jock.

Wifey has never forgiven me for getting compromised (just like that) while waiting for me to turn up for the pickkies on a Friday night at the bottom end of London Road in L'pool - just up round the corner from the former Lime Street station hotel....... :triniti:

......and what is more.......

it could well have been for "The 39 Steps"

 

BUT which version?

probably (in terms of the era) it would have been the technicolour one with Kenneth More. I preferred an earlier b+w one where Hannay jumps out on a bridge over a river. You could really imagine this was on the 'Port road' somewhere in Galloway

:) .

more detailing, barrels for the pub

med_gallery_17883_3493_404268.jpg3700

 

upgrading the figures, adding a lot of smoky transparent shadows

med_gallery_17883_3493_82825.jpg3701

 

despite adding more colour the pavement is still rather pale

med_gallery_17883_3493_478951.jpg3702

 

a bus stop and lining up the last of the buildings

med_gallery_17883_3493_121720.jpg3703

 

its baby steps, but attacking individual bits slowly pay off

Some of your pictures,make you feel like your realy standing there in the village :sungum: :locomotive:

hopefully one i get enough elements in place, and some decent lighting i will get some really nice pictures.....fingers crossed......

it looks better in real life......

looking at real street the post box and telephone are a bit bright, so i decided I needed to use the Citadel nun oil....

in the meantime I had go at more pavement

med_gallery_17883_3493_193912.jpg3704

 

add both side...so more pavement and colouring it 

med_gallery_17883_3493_318752.jpg3705

 

add decided i need to shade the pavement, so i got out the water and a big brush and the black and a small brush, watershed then ran the water along the lines, any excess was brushed away
