Really good Alan, it "grabs " attention.

Quite a change from your recent work Alan, you always have fresh ideas and working practices. Great colours and shapes, lots of freedom there.

Love this semi-abstract landscape Alan. Top line well deserved.

Love your palette! This is a really good painting!

Really very effective Alan, sounds like a good experimental surface to try out, as Linda rightly says eye catching and different!

Very different for you Alan. Looks good . Must check out the surface you have used.

I always enjoy seeing your work Alan and you have some very distinctive styles of painting. This virtual abstract is a beauty

I’ve been reading quite a lot recently regarding using this film material for drawing and painting on. If you have the current edition of Leisure Painter, you will have seen my report on the letters page, along with this painting. This is a semi-abstract mixed media, and I’ve used acrylic, ink, pencil, gouache and pastel. It’s a slightly unusual surface to work on, quite thick so it lies flat, and takes pencil and charcoal particularly well. It’s semi-transparent, so you could put a photo or say a rough sketch underneath, and use this as a guide. I bought an A4 pad, but it is available in large sheets also. Well worth a go if you like to experiment as I do!
