Good tonal values, Ashley. I like your sunlit subject and your art materials. Well done on the homemade bamboo pen.

Thank you Carol. It was my main reason to attempt this, to simplify into connected shapes and values exploring if it would work as a colour painting too. Thank you 😊

Very good Ashley

A delightful painting!!

Thank you everyone ☺️ very kind. Have a great day

Great sketch.

It is well done even though quick. Like the wash effect.

Magdalena, I always sketch and paint fast so if it goes in the bin I haven't spent hours drawing 😊

Beautiful cow with calf, I like it a lot as their forms look so natural and the fine line and silky hair of the calf turned out well indeed!

Thank you Angela, that's very kind, it's a great way to practice

A quick pen and wash drawing using my homemade bamboo pen, waterproof ink and watercolours on sketching paper. A great way to practice my drawing and simplify things into shapes and values.
