Great portraits Lew and Alan. I’d arranged to meet up with an acquaintance who has steam roller with a view to doing a watercolour painting. It started to tip it down just as I started to do a sketch, in the end abandoned the idea as this was the best could do under the umbrella. One cold and wet pen and watery watercolour. I will goo again in the better weather when we can spend longer sketching and photographing. Sorry its 
a bit scruffy.

Had to look at it a few times, Tessa, but I see what you mean! It wasn't deliberate! Really like your gondolas, Jim - just a few lines, and you have captured them beautifully; another tender sketch of your grandson Marjorie - lovely; your getting really good at the Manga, Christopher.
Hi, Sandi, welcome to the site! I have found it to be lovely and friendly. Lovely work in your Gallery. Tony, love your paintings in the Gallery, too. You will be both very welcome if you want to join in the new daily(ish) March sketching thread :)
Seems to be a lot of portraits and figures at the moment, which is good to see. Excellent portrait, Lewis - like the blue ws pencil - I often use fountain pen and water, but not tried ws pencil for a portrait for a while; good to see you doing more portraits, Alan - lots of character; hope you enjoy your new art materials, Marjorie; really like your steamroller, Dixie - not showing the effects of the rain!

Lovely sketch of your grandson Marjorie, great gondolas Jim, Christopher you are so good at Manga sketches, a good likeness of Keith Richards and Paul you are brave to try painting outside today, well done. Today's effort is a small Buddha sketch in Inktense pencil with washes, colours Sun Yellow, Baked Earth and Sea Blue, finished with black and white uni pen.

Alan, I think you spotted the tail😁The legs were tucked up but I think I might put one in, hanging down...later.
Now, all the lovely work which has appeared..Linda's buddha is very attractive with those colours, it looks metallic Paul, top marks for going out in this cold weather and managing to produce your pen and wash, like the colours. Lewis is in his blue mood I see and Alan is into Keith Richards, both great sketches. Portrait sketches seem to be the thing of the moment! Linda's snowdrop walk I like ( there's a lovely one round here, must go), and Tessa's stormy sketch will make an atmospheric painting. ( cactus growth v. boy, ha ha, but it has grown very fast )sylvia, I did an olive tree in Sicily, they are knotted and knarled, amazing. Jedburgh is a very nice sketch Margaret.
As for my new art stuff...tried out the water sol. wax crayons. They are rather nice. My battery eraser is tending to race away from me, I need to get used to that, I ended up using it without switching it on! If you're not careful you could rub out the whole sketch. Imagine!!
