Wowee! These are really good Paul. You know what I then thought? If you are experimenting ( not with these two, leave them) but it would look quite quirky to add a bit of colour on top of some of the white markings. What do you think. Of course you might think “ Nooooo”😁

I really like those sketches Paul. I must say I think working white on black paper looks great and have done a few. Like Marjorie’s suggestion too. It really is great to see us all trying new media’s and techniques !

This is a dip in and out subject and satisfying it’s a bit like talking to old friends thank you… I’m listening to Eva Cassidy sad music for me. and drawing Michelmass ( wrong spelling I know)  daisies from my garden it’s piddling down again so the car cleaning can wait.  Some lovely stuff being posted horses  guitars , buildings and experiments .   This will be another page in my special book.

Michaelmas daisies remind me of my Mum who died when I was a teenager . They are such pretty flowers! I also love this page as I also feel I am chatting to old friends, I love it !

Excellent portraits Linda, that’s something I do find difficult, you have done a really good job of them . Two quick sketches from me still messing about with the gell pen to do the horse . The buffalo sketch wax using pastel something I don’t use a lot , it from a photo showing a buffalo with frost on it face .
