What happened to the summer, days getting shorter and duller already, just had solar panels fitted and now the sky is full of clouds!

It'd be interesting to know how you get on with those

Not trying to hijack the thread or sound like a *#ck , but solar power in the UK where the sun isn't shining often is really not practical. But I hope it works out for you.

David, Steve, I have six panels only running since Monday but even with the dull skies I am not consuming electricity from the grid during daylight hours. Might change as they gather dust, but if the government wants to help.out because I'm a veteran I'm not going to complain.

Thanks.
I've wondered about getting them, but won't discuss further here.

Finally onto shading the frock coat.
Very dark blue, onto dark blue.
Certainly demanding, where light conditions are concerned.
But a flat, grey sky is ideal and progress has been good.
That said, I'm going for a walk now.
Enjoy the bank holiday weekend.
Back at the "bench" later...
75mm scale is becoming my favourite.

Enjoyed the walk.
Found lots of (small) blackberries (it's been that kind of summer).
Just enough to make one jar of jelly, before I'd had enough of picking them.

Might have to try the natural light as I find the dark blues difficult without a lot of contrast. I like how the creases are sculpted, lots of nice undercuts to shade into and it's looking good.

Oops forgot the second post, looks like an old railway line turned into a footpath looks idyllic. Blackberry jelly sounds nice too.

Right sleeve shaded. Added a bit too much black to start with, but spotted my error and toned it down.
Ho-hum. Not a major mistake.

Lovely neat painting on the cuff detail and chevrons with the shading going through. I always try painting a whole garment or at least the various phases of it in one go just to make sure I keep the mixes consistent. Of course it would help if I could remember the mixes from one session to the next.
How was the walk? Are the Hazel nuts ready yet?

Thanks, Gents.
That jar of blackberry nectar is miiiiiine....
I didn't see any hazelnuts on the walk, but the blackberries and elderberries are doing well.

Happy boy here, eating homemade apple crumble made from fruit from my parents' tree.
I love this time of year.

Shading the frock coat.
Used the last of today's light to get the skirts finished.

Too late, I'm afraid.
