This watercolour is coming on well – if you follow the link to the page you’ll see the progression and a little info on the techniques I am using.

Just checking the details of Lt. Bromhead’s uniform epaulettes, then I can get this section of the painting finished.

Uploaded here are the latest photos of my progress on VALOUR – a tribute to the men of the 24th awarded the Victoria Cross at Rorke’s Drift.

Here are the first 3 photos showing my painting progress.

This is my pencil drawing of Lt. Gonville Bromhead. I depict him as I imagine he felt on that day in 1879 as he prepared for the Zulu attack – tense, alert, determined, resilient, anxious but unafraid.
