Touch of the ‘Rembrandts’ here Alan- A absolute beauty- hope you’ve got it in a frame.

Nothing wrong with framing your own work if it pleases you. Nice job Alan.

Just having a bit of a scribble, testing out my new Ackerman refillable pump feed nib pen. Really impressed with it so far, I can get a nice variation of line width which is so important for me! A4 Strathmore grey paper with Liquitex burnt sienna acrylic ink… inspiration from a Rembrandt sketch!
