I can blether with the best Gill...🙃Jeeps that weather is certainly getting rough.
Just had a play with this as a start to an acrtli . It's Crib Goch one of the routs up Snowdon.
When I was young and brave I did climb it. Now I prefer to look from a distance. This is water colour , gouts he and pen.

Here is a quick sketch I started today...then had a lovely phone call and got distracted! Heard from my sister and my niece is planning a trip to visit us all! Am so excited as haven't seen any overseas family for ten years! Wanted to fly over last year but had Covid so it put the damper on everything,, anyway keeping fingers crossed we may enjoy our Brice's company over here and she likes horse riding too, so she will love riding in the country! The last family visit was in 2001 when my late mother visited and I flew over in 2014 so it's been absolutely ages since we saw any family member from Great Britain! Oh our children will be sooo excited to meet their cousin ,,,such great news and would like to take her to Tasmania too,, feeling over joyed today! Got an Art group Zoom session tomorrow so had better prepare our folio as our Tutor is leaving sob sob! It should resume later in the year though, but we shall miss her as we all have enjoyed these sessions online. Happy sketching everyone and some great work on here! 😊🏵️

Alan - gorgeous flowers, beautifully and sensitively painted.
Sylvia, commented on your piece on the Gallery - but I'd like to say here as well: your refusal to be beaten by the (expletive deleted) frailties life has hit you with is a great example to all of us to keep trundling on and treat life's disasters with the contempt they deserve.

Some really good sketch’s posted , I was having a tidy up something not done very often I hasten to add especially in my studio/shed or Shedio as it’s known anyway I came across a old sketch pad . The first sketch was done up in the woods about fifteen or more years ago when we were coppicing and using the wood for making charcoal in the big kettles .

Those flowers are lovely Ala , they always are, and that sweet wee dog Angela . Have you ever used a really soft pencil to draw with ? I like really soft ones like up to 8 B they produce some lovely results. T.Thankyou Sylvia, I am drawing with Studio graphite 2b and watercolour sketch pencil dark,medium and light for the time being but shall open a new batch and might practice light and shade this week. We practiced drawing white line on black paper today ,,,I found a Derwent white pencil but I believe China white works well on black paper as it has a bolder effect to bring about reflected light .....it was interesting anyway creating light and how it diminishes like a comet in the night sky! Yes, shall try and locate these pencils as they were packed in boxes when we moved, still unpacking and discovering Art pens and pencils and some pastels I have never used, also charcoal. Just practicing still-life subjects for the time being, but am really liking the exercise after a while of being dormant in drawing!
