Re-worked ink resist painting

Earlier this year I attempted a gouache and ink resist painting using one of my urban sketches as reference.

Radnor Street Chapel - approx. 10" x 7"
- gouache, Indian ink, watercolour
It was relegated to the unresolved pile as the trees looked stilted and the background messy.  A couple of months later I decided to use my limited supply of pastels to see if I could make any improvement.


The sky, trees and the background were the main areas altered, with some final flicks of pastel in the foreground.  It still doesn't make the grade, but it gave me a chance to try out my neglected pastels without being too worried about the final outcome.
