Into the Light - Buddhist monks

Super drawing. It has great impact.

Great title and love the figures. Your medium has worked very effectively Russell.

Great figures Russell.

What a great image Russell, so striking and I love the rich darkness of those pencils.

Wonderful effect Russell. I think I recognise that nearest little chap!

I love carbon pencils - did you enjoy using them? Your results suggest so!

Beautiful image.

Thank you Lewis, Carole, Fran, Val, Marjorie, Robert and Margaret, Yes Robert I did enjoy using them but I don't think the paper i used was perhaps the best, any suggestions? You have a good memory Marjorie!

I saw him at Patchings!

Brilliant! Really like this, great subject.

Excellent work Russell, very effective.

So I did Russell, glad you bought some. Well they have given this superb group of people tremendous depth and what an imposing drawing, quite stunning.

Oh yes, paper! Well there are so many brands to explore where do you start?. I've been using Strathmore tan and gray mixed media paper recently. It is quite smooth but it takes pencil rather well. I've always liked working on a toned background so this suits my needs. Amazon with next day delivery.

Superb Russell

Brilliant.

Superb. You have a wealth of wonderful material from your trip.
