Your sketch of the traction engine should make a good painting, Paul. Very good portrait, Tessa. The paper has given it a subtle texture. Denise, keep going with the portrait practice.  I find that using the basic guidance on proportions and placement works well in getting a fair likeness. Charcoal makes it easier to put in the important shadows. I hope to do some more myself this weekend.

That’s a really good sketch , lovely old milk float still the odd one about and in use. Ah the days when milk bottles rattle in the crates, as we lay in bed and thought bloody milkman.

Love the ‘vintage’ vehicle pictures! Beautiful day here in Orkney! I just sketched This view en plain air in the garden . Experimenting with soft pastel crayons.

The variety of sketches is wonderful and every always does such a good job. Here is my offering today. Plenty of practice need but I think my shading is a pip better than last time.

Here is a made up face, but I'm trying to practice with the shading. I am going to be doing faces all weekend. Fear not though, I won't put everyone on here.

I’m days behind on this but some cracking sketches and portraits. Mine today are a couple of poppy pictures for Remembrance Sunday to put in the window.

My sketches, I've turned it into a painting now, a good exercise for me.
