What a lovely day to be out and about with your sketch book - love the definition with the pen :)

Clever. What I learn from it is that the trick is not to overdo the washes which you always get spot on.

Thanks Jane and Michael. I never overdo the washes as I work very fast. This pen is a bit heavy for this subject, must renew my stock.

What a beauty two fine works Derek

Very nice sketch Derek - I can never sketch first, I put down blobs of colour then add the pen otherwise I'd overdo it.

Great Sketch Derek,

I like to see sketch books Derek. I use pencil when I am out. Then pen in the best lines at home then finish off with watercolour washes.

I like the economy of line, understated but very effective. Atmospheric washes.

I do hope you post little gems like this on the Urban Sketchers web site Derek.

Super loose work Derek.

This answer my forum question...did you find your muse. Nice sketch. D

Cheers all. It is turning to be a good little activity in the week to get me out in winter. This will be published I think Sylvia. Muse round there somewhere.

A wonderful sketch Derek.

Eleventyeight as my hashing pals called my new age recently, it's supposed to sound better. Trying to paint every day in acrylics using only expired credit/debit cards, and partially succeeding as they're only for me and not show these days.
