Contemplation.

Love the hand Carolyn and the shadows and light are very effective in this.

Thank you Carole.

Very effective Carolyn, not an easy thing to do but this is great. I've been using black paper today too but with no where near the same success as you.

This is stunning Carolyn. Hands are so tricky- but you’ve definitely got it right in this picture. Well done.

Thank you Val, I really like your black paper work. Don't knock yourself.

Thank you Christine. It was the shadow under the finger at the temple and around her right side that fixed me the most.

This is very effective and dramatic. Excellent. (I've never tried black paper, I'm inspired to give it a go.)

Thank you Lewis. I really enjoy playing with black paper. I'm sure that your illustrative skills would be well suited to it.
