Really struggling, any help gratefully received.

Felt great joy with lady reported to be overdrawn. (8) R??????? I thought it might be rejoiced?

Development area. (8) D???????

Laid on thickly by artist. (7) I??????

Many thanks.

Sounds like Joyce in the red.

Is it a cryptic? The third one looks like IMPASTO, but that's more or less a straight definition.

Development area...darkroom?

Nice one Ixion, definitely cryptic.

Hi rossim, ixion and chrise, Thank you all so much as everything seems to fit nicely. It is a prize crossword but the clues have always been cryptic, however I am going with your suggestion. I would never have got darkroom as I was focussed on planning and building development. Thank you again, you are very clever people. Blessings, Colin.
