A big yes from me Alan. Caught it perfectly, your tinted paper is an excellent effect. I work mainly with 11 x 8 sheets apart from my A5 sketch books. I don't frame my pictures in reality, just use Windows "Paint" to do it virtualy for effect.

These small, quick sketches are a delight Alan. A lesson to us all that producing very good artwork doesn't have to be a laborious, painstaking process. More please!

Wow Alan....you're a genius! Brilliant work.

Again wonderful crisp lines, architecturely spot on. The whispey bushes in the foreground really hit the mark. Managed to get hold of an old Pochade box, currently adding a tri pod attachment, can't wait to get out there and give it a go. If they're half as good as this I'll be happy.

So do I Alan, rough edges, not pretty pics. Smashing. Andre reminds me. I might get rid of my pochade and tripod.

This is again stunning, Alan. Love your strong lines and limited palette.

Sketched this little piece on Tuesday on one of my weekly outings, 10 x 8in on my own tinted paper as always. Managed to pull in half a dozen oil sketches also which will be reference material for larger finished pieces, I will post a few of these oils but they are a bit rough around the gills, but I like them like that.
