Wigtown Bay

Nice quick sketch. Isn't the pen good for this and it looks like your favourite Jackson paper with an almost woven like surface.

Lovely immediacy Fiona.

Lovely loose feel to this sketch Fiona.

Lovely quick pen and ink work 😀

How quick is quick, Fiona? This is a super quick sketch, with a lovely mood and palette. Bri

Well Ms Phipps, that's a hell of a view from a window, yes of course I'm jealous! Good little quickie to start off your lesson, well done.

Yes, this is Fiona! Lovely marks and viewpoint.

This, like a previous one of yours, has a lovely sunny feel to it and your great inky marks gives it so much life.

Excellent quickie Fiona, you do have wonderful views!

Smashing sense of being there with you, Fiona, superb!

Great spontaneity Fiona. I would need more than a quick "wait" !!!

Just love it. Excellent assured sketching.

Oops nearly missed this little gem Fiona, everything moves so quickly now! Aren’t you a good girl painting before the class has even started. Lovely work. 👍

I use an old dip pen Alan and yes I can get some lovely messy, scratchy lines....not a straight one in sight. Works well on the textured paper. Thank you for commenting. Sandra, Stephen, Linda thanks very much! Brian about ten minutes or so, I didn’t give some of the washes time to dry and they have bled but the sketch is only for me so it doesn’t matter. I just enjoyed the moment. Thank you. Thanks Al.....yes a great view, the room is at the top of the county buildings and looks out over the lower roof tops of Wigtown and out over the bay to the Galloway hills....stunning really. I ought to make more use of it. Haha, thanks Marjorie! Val, Satu, Thalia...thank you very much ladies, appreciate your very kind words.

Lol Richard, I’m sure you would make a great job of this with all your experience of hills and lakes. Thank you. Thank you very much Lewis! Tessa how could I not have a go.....sketchbook, fab view and time.....enjoyed it! Thanks very much!

Neat sketching Fiona, fantastic view.

Thanks Carole x
