Winter Angler2, Haywood.

Beautiful work Alan. I love the colours and the heavy feel to the sky.

Love your work Alan. Like a great wine

Another super addition to your winter series, lovely rich colours and good use of the medium.

I do admire your confidence in application of paint, there is nothing timid about your paintings Alan they really pack a punch......gorgeous! By the way, I've treated myself to a Rotring pen and some white ink because I do like the effect this gives in your work. Not sure if you use white ink or Acrylic, hopefully I can get some sort of result with it.

Thanks everyone again for your comments and observations, I don&#39;t know how many more of these watercolours you can stomach but there&#39;s still a few left, you&#39;re all far more enthusiastic than I am about them.<br /><br />Fiona, I use my favourite brush, the rigger to achieve all my branches and white highlights usually, and prefer white gouache, acrylic or my favourite Plaka. I expect that you will be okay with the pen, let me know how it performs! Alan

Another lovely painting with those gorgeous colours Alan.

You always get a wonderful depth of tone in your paintings which gives them that &#39;push and pull&#39; that defines a successful work. I should pay more attention to tone as I can see from your work how essential it is.

Thank you Carole and Thea, and yes, tone is the key to a successful painting, it gives it real depth and not that &#39;washed out look&#39; that I try and avoid.

I&#39;m a fan of the rust and blue hues. Great depth.
