Nice little sketch Bari, love the colours. Denise as Alan said your tonal values are excellent. Mine today isis a memory from childhood, a Tonibell ice cream van.

Well actually had a lovely day out yesterday  the first ..no second in a very long time . Bodnant gardens here in beautiful north Wales so busy , so many people.  Dogs now allowed so Sam dog miffed and watered virtually every leaf . Sat in the sunshine and did a half hour sketch of the trees and colours and shapes. Water colour in my A 5 Moleskine sketch book.  The other sketch was a bit of an experiment, some amazing white Iris by a stream  lots of dark shadow behind them.   I want to do a proper painting , but only had white paper  so just did a bluey wash and used my Posca  white pen to draw them

Lovely to hear you had a good time, Sylvia. Savour the moment! A lot of us are of an age to recognise that is important.

Lovely sketches of Bodnant Sylvia. I've visited a few times but not since I started painting. Might have to have a trip there with paints in tow.
