In this exercise I am painting outside, from the same spot/position, rotating 90 degrees and painting each view for around 30 minutes.
Visit to Chartwell (once the home of Winston Churchill) on a sunny Saturday morning after searching high low for national trust membership cards.
Settled in a spot where I felt I had 4 views that were not too similar (and my wife could comfortably read for few hours), the time was mid morning so shadows not at their best (preparing my excuses).
Brushes down. My wife took the time keeping a little too seriously refusing to allow me extra time beyond the 30 minutes...time waiting for washes to dry was part of the 30 minutes.

On completion of this sketch I felt I hadn't added enough to emphasise tonal contrasts and event though I acknowledged this on my first sketch I didn't manage to address the issue in subsequent sketches.
