Like your post and barbed wire Dixie, well observed detail, great little potplant Marjorie, also lovely detail with the name tag, and a super Bernard castle view Linda.  I’ve just got home from a pen and wash workshop with Max Hale (Christmas present from daughter) , a good fun day and very interesting. I have a couple of WIP to get on with but this is a little view which is about finished. Watercolour first then pen.

Paul, I think it's a purple, without checking. Maybe cobalt violet. Will check later. Linda, that's a nice progression from the sketch. Tessa, lucky thing, your workshop. Do you feel it has changed your approach? It's a good loose pen and ink. How many were in the workshop?

12 of us Marjorie. We covered a few different options, of starting with pen or starting with watercolour, so quite interesting to see the difference. He did a couple of demos, always good to see the artist at work! Certainly came away with ideas and a bit more confidence to try various options of watercolour in particular.

Finished Castle looks good, Linda - really like the strong lines; glad you enjoyed your workshop Tessa - lovely, lively, sketch with great colours.

Charming sketch Alan - I suspect we might all use "one we've done earlier" at some time during the month! I was out most of the day too so here is my sketch - from a photo a friend gave me - it is a very cute dog if anybody isn't sure!

A fabulous start everyone! I won’t commit to this month but will drop in from time to time to see what you are all up to.

Certainly very cute, Alan. And a nice colour addition to Barnard Castle Linda. Margaret, no doubt that is a cute little dog. Must try and do quicker little sketches ( note to self).

Surely not page 2 already 😁 mine's a sketch of tete a tete, muscaria and primrose in a rather attractive looking container. Think I prefer the non coloured version.
