Highly effective as ever Alan, in your unmistakable style.

Thanks guys, always appreciate the feedback. I decided to keep the sky as simple as possible to create the dull sultry winter atmosphere. This is obviously just a quick sketch as such, but will make a bigger watercolour in the future!

These iconic shaped Kentish oast houses are so beautiful, and I never get bored of drawing them. Pen & wash on tinted Ingres mount board around A4.
