This is superb Alan , the addition of colour had really brought it together nicely.

Yes it looks lovely, the colours really sparkle against the ink!

Minimal colour makes a real difference. I’m often tempted to fill every bit of white space with paint, but I like the way you’ve left the foreground mostly unchanged.

I posted the mono version of this quick sketch yesterday, I’ve added a splash of watercolour which I think adds a bit more impact as well as interest.
