This is a pochade paintingof a piece ofwaste ground opposite Liverpool Anglican Cathedral. I was using gouache paints for this, as I want to get to grips with them as I want to take them on a short holiday soon. The colours are a bit garish, I will have to work on this to get a bit of subtlety in. I may have a go at this view with my oils,but the light was so good that day that I fear I would not get a day as good a day again. Steve Strode and his wonderful views of Liverpool has nothing to fear yet!
