Where To Start?

Lots of people ask me where I start when it comes to my paintings. The truth is, I don't have any particular routine.  I thought I would post some photos of the stages.  So, here is a painting that I have just finished. I am going to sell limited edition prints of this.... It's one of my favourites!

So, I start with my sketch and trace it onto watercolour paper...

I started with the background with this painting and then started to fill in some of the detail...

Nearly there...

Finished!
