Paul Kidby - A method of working

I found this when looking for information on how Paul Kidby goes about his paintings. Theyve always really appealed to me ever since I read Terry Pratchett books in school and this style of painting is something I would love to be able to do.
Not just like Kidby obviously, but the ability to portray my own fantasy characers in situe with such bold colours and a strong pallette is something I envy.

My p lan is to start on some prints of the line drawing of the street I did in water colour, maintain a colour pallete and do about 10 of them experimenting with each one.
