This is superb Alan , like the little details that aren’t detailed like the boats under the bridge.

Your capturing of light always impresses

Winter light vibes ✨️

I do like the simplicity of your tonal values, Alan, however, to compose such a work would not be that simple for me. I do admire your work.

Just proves what a limited amount of work and keeping it simple to get excellent results! Wonderful.👍

Love the toned background - opens up so many opportunities, which you have taken advantage of. Very effective, Alan.

Thanks guys appreciate the support. Carol… it’s simple to achieve and you can do it! I wrote a feature in The Artist a while back relating to tonal values. If you have the magazine I can let you know what edition it was in…

I agree with Heather and I also like the grey paper.

Super work with the limited palette and detail

Great variety of grey tones, gives great impression of a cold day.

Great work Alan - I love how you achieve a sense of distance.

You do these sketches so well Alan…..great stuff!
