Old Country Cottages by Alan Bickley

Superb old cottages very well captured Alan, and your use of carbon pencil with sanguine suits the scene nicely.

Your sketchings are so skillfully done Alan.

Beautifully done Alan , so much interest and history in these lovely old buildings. What I like is they are always slightly different unlike modern buildings where everything is straight and neat and tidy, they were made to fit the land not the land to fit them .

That is a superb sketch, Alan. I note your comments about my neatness but I really enjoy your style of sketching!!

Now these old cottages just look so stealthy and countrified, lovely style and engaging to the eye! Super work Alan!

Love the look of these old cottages. Super sketch Alan.

Beautifully rendered, Alan. Was this the sketch for your painting?

Thanks guys, appreciate each comment… Based on that Thalia, with some additional bits…

This is really good Alan, I like it a lot

Great use of the media Alan.

This is excellent Alan, beautifully done.

A superb sketch!

Very good!

Wonderful sketching Alan as always.

Really like this Alan - love that touch of colour on the middle cottage

In my opinion one of your best yet on here Alan

Fabulous sketch Alan

Nice work Alan.

You have captured the character of these buildings perfectly Alan.

Wonderful work Alan, you make it look so easy!

Thanks guys, appreciate your support… Frank, if you paint or sketch each day, it does seem to get relatively easy! But we know that it isn’t…

This is really great, love that bit of sienna on the middle cottage and they look full of old charm!

Nice work alan
