progress of a painting for Leeds castle Christmas card

plans in my sketch book


pencil drawing following my rough sketch
nice and tidy with pen
the snow comes alive with blue shadows

all done!

and dusted! (with glitter)








Last year I painted a greetings card for Leeds Castle, featuring the queens and King Henry VIII among others, and following that a Christmas card was needed.
I took the same view, altering the angle slightly so that the fairground and Christmas market could be seen across the moat. some of the same characters are in the winter scene, but with additions of course.
Both cards are now for sale in the Leeds Castle shop, and the Christmas card is all glittery : )
