School postcard painting

St Edmund’s Pre-Prep School postcard  © Peter Gander
A recent commisssion for local Canterbury school, St Edmund’s. The painting was used for a promotional postcard sent out to prospective parents. I put together a composition portraying different aspects of the school and despite my rather grey-looking reference pics taken on a dull autumn day, managed to infuse the postcard with plenty of sunshine! Watercolour on 300gsm Langton Grain Fin paper.
