The red brick against the blue-ish paper, and the minimalist sort of style, is just superb.

Superb Alan definitely a case of less is more the your choice of pallet is excellent for this particular painting.

Meant to read “ Super!”

This is super, Alan. A real eye catcher.

This is very striking against the blue paper Alan, a lovely drawing with the minimum of colouring, works so well.

Love your line and wash sketches, Alan - and this looks good on the tinted paper.

Posted by Jenny Harris on Mon 03 Oct 10:46:46

Class work as ever Alan. Great contrasts using tinted paper and chalk.

Lovely painting Alan

A really stunning piece, Alan. Love the limited palette, which works beautifully with the toned ground. As usual, your composition, linework and mark-making are excellent.

Absolutely hits the spot. Terrific.

Posted by Lewis Cooper on Mon 03 Oct 12:31:05

Excellent and the tinted paper is so effective too!

Posted by Anne Fletcher on Mon 03 Oct 13:05:10

Oh very lush and colours and composition 🙂

Posted by Faye Patrick on Mon 03 Oct 13:29:58

The loosely done trees and foreground are perfect against the buildings.

Seems new for you and I think it is very eye-catching - like the three colours and the style, Alan

Posted by Maureen Sherman on Mon 03 Oct 18:48:24

Superb.

Great work Alan.

Like the contrast between the ink drawing and the warm tones of the Cathedral.

Posted by Stephen Slater on Mon 03 Oct 20:59:14

The colours and mark making are really eye catching

Fabulous artwork Alan, I like the pale grey paper it shows your work beautifully.

Posted by Carole Swingler on Tue 04 Oct 07:56:14

I really like this and the highlights work so well.

Posted by Karen Lewis on Tue 04 Oct 14:30:28

Love the addition of minimal colour. Such a graceful, elegant painting Alan.
