Good work with the reed pen Emma, I can't get lines as fine as that with mine. it will make a good painting, I would be inclined to move the building across so that the L/H tree is not obliterating the Abbey quite so much.

Great light in this, Emma, definitely worth a painting as well. Love the reed pen work!

Thanks everyone for the encouragement and advice. Alan, you could be right, I'll do some rougher drawings to try different compositions.
