King's Landing is an historic site about 20 km from where I live. It is a replication of a large village of the 19th Century. All the workers wear period costume and horse and wagon is the only means of transportation (other than walking). This labour day weekend, the King's Landing people invited artists to attend up to three days in order to paint the buildings and scenery around the area. I applied and attended. I managed to do two paintings a day so far, and they are fairly reasonably done. The artists can display their work on easels for another few weeks until KL closes. I have one more painting day to go.
This kind of painting is what I have been doing all summer so it wasn't a real hardship. I found it quite easy to paint during the morning but a real chore to paint in the sun in the late afternoon and I tended to want to finish the painting very quickly.
I hope I sell one or two!
