Very well drawn cute squirrel Christopher, another cracking paint off Alan, Marjorie lovely sketch of post cake preparation, think you are a much neater baker than I am! Dixie fantasticwatercolour, expression spot on, we had one last summer in our garden having a blackbird for dinner. Brilliant sketch Linda, you are good at faces and I too thought it was a wash. Remarkable quick sketch of Canada goose Margaret. Tessa those loose application of colours give the appearance of the people moving. Milkshakes and smoothie for my day 2
Some amazing sketches done today by everyone it makes me want to try harder seeing all this amazing work  from everyone it's so inspiring.  today I have been trying to do some Anime/Manga again so here's my effort.
Anjana, me? Tidy in the kitche,? The rest looked as tho' a bomb had hit it. Still a theme of food with your milkshakes, nice tonal sketches there. Christopher, that looks spot on from what I know about Manga.
The standard of work on here is getting better and better. My effort for today is from a photo taken last year, the fields are about a half mile from where I live, and formed part of the old agricultural collage. Sadly the  fields are now a building site, for several thousand home.
What a great variety of stuff!  Very lively pen and wash street scene, Tessa - works very well;  strongly drawn milkshakes and smoothie, Anjana - ?fountain pen; your Anime/Manga looks good, Christopher - well done, I wouldn't know where to start with Manga etc!; lovely sketch Dixie - I know more homes are badly needed but such a shame that view has gone.
Paul, lovely, harmonious colours in that painting. My offering today is geared towards Alan....he pointed me in the 6 Nations direction.

Your portraits are excellent Marjorie, very nice sketch Christopher.
Wow I seem to have missed quite a few, like your Trio of glass Anjana, Paul, such a shame we have to loose views like this, Great sketch Christopher, Marjorie they are brilliant portraits, this is mine so far today, loving doing portraits, not finished yet.

Super portraits Marjorie and Linda, and really interesting buildings beautifully done Alan.
Here’s a catch up comment for yesterday as well as I ran out of time and energy last night. Christopher your squirrel is lovely, you’ve managed to make the fur believably soft, and your Anime/Manga girl is very sharp and stylish. Alan your 6 Nations paint offs are original and excellent and Pately Bridge is full of character. Linda, some very skilful portrait drawings, made me want to get back to portraits! Marjorie, what a super opportunity of drawing your baking things and good likeness of OF, I prefer the one on the left. Dixie your bird picture  I think is excellent. I’m not squeamish about such things. I once saw a gull swoop down and take a tiny baby duckling off a lake and while it was awful at the time I realise that’s just nature. Your landscape is lovely, shame it’s to be housing and I thought we weren’t supposed to build on green field sites! Margaret I love your geese, such striking birds they make equally striking sketches. Anjana, wonderful sundae glasses, you’ve picked out their shapes so well, they make a lovely trio. This is a sketch through the window of the workshop studio on Saturday during the lunch break, pen and wash.
Anjana, me? Tidy in the kitche,? The rest looked as tho' a bomb had hit it. Still a theme of food with your milkshakes, nice tonal sketches there. Christopher, that looks spot on from what I know about Manga.
