Pen & wash of 'Suilven' by Fiona Phipps

Nice clean pen and wash Fiona. I like the foreground detail.

I agree with Louise, Fiona: this is very 'simple' but effective. Well done, I love it!

I really like this, Fiona. I, too, like the foreground detail. You are building a quite lovely gallery. I enjoy browsing through it.

Sorry about the need to bin, but maybe you'd said all you really wanted to in this free-flowing sketch? I like the way you've allowed the darker paint to bleed - I've no way of knowing, of course, but I wonder if you got a bit "careful" in your subsequent watercolours, and tried too hard? I know it can happen - almost all of us have done just that in our time.

Fiona --- for me this as got loads of atmosphere---I like it

A really nice sketch, simple but effective, like the colour and the clouds, almost forgot about this view of Suilven, might try a painting from that side myself sometime.

Thank you all very much for your kind and encouraging comments. I was in two minds whether to put it up, it was a very quick sketch. I would still like to do a painting from this, you're right in what you say Robert...I think I was trying too hard and being too careful with the painting.

I particularly like this type of immediate and spontaneous painting as they always have such life and vibrancy. This one has that life and energy in spades.

Love it Fiona, keep going!

Thank you Thea and Amanda
