First rate - great style!

A very good sketch Alan!

Thanks guys, this hall is enormous - plenty to have a go at at my next visit…

Love your very stylish sketches.

A superb example of your sketching style Alan

Note, keen students of drawing - the use of shadow to add dynamism. Looking forward to the watercolours.

Superb Alan.
