Really good, Paul - delightful!

Excellent sketching.

This is full of interest and movement Paul. I like your use of this medium.

Lovely - the long landscape format really draws you in.

Very good sketching

Thank you for the kind comments, I appreciate them . I did think it was a bit overworked I put it on the forum sketch a day and Alan agreed two many building for a Hilder style scene .

Almost missed this one, love it !!

Great sketch Paul - lots of nice elements in this.

Thank you Valerie and Andrew , I appreciate your comments, I have added some colour it’s on the forum at the moment might put it on the gallery tomorrow.

Very interesting indeed!!!

A very imaginative piece of work Paul

Thank you Sandra , I think the added colour had certainly lifted the look .
