Thanks, Marjorie. Really nice work, Gillian bright and clean while capturing the twilight mood. Robert, yours has a subtle romantic edge to it. Lovely work. A dramatic diffusion within your painting, Alan. Sylvia yours is dramatic sunset.

Well, if pulling oldies out of the cupboard is OK, here's one from my past, Hong Kong Harbour from the Star Ferry Pier.

A great theme for moody atmospheres, with some wonderful examples. Watercolour on Two Rivers blue denim paper….

Two Rivers Paper Mill were asked by a company to produce a paper that was similar to the colour of blue denim… Could have been a bookbinding company, I don’t recall! I believe that they actually used the dye extracted from blue denim to colour the paper. They had several small batches left over from the run and it was offered to Joe Public! Fiona and I both bought a pack of full imperial size sheets! NB: probably not a bookbinding company because it’s quite thick paper… 200lb perhaps? They do make the endpapers for bookbinding companies which produce quality manuscript books etc.
