Flooded Pool

Lovely spontaneous sketch Fiona. These on the spot studies can sometimes be better than a full blown painting.

Looses and scruffy you say, but a fine sketch you have the reflections spot on. Would we a fine watercolour.

Some lovely interesting shapes there Fiona. Look forward to that watercolour.

I like the starkness of this scene.

Nice sketch Fiona, and inspiration for a possible watercolour, emphasis on tonal scale being the key!

I think its great Fiona, i do like these pen sketches of yours there is life in them, nice one.

Variety has become your new direction Fiona. Simple but effective.

Super sketch, Fiona, love pen and ink studies.

Love this stark painting with such bold brushstrokes and a feeling of solitude Fiona.

It will make a lovely watercolour Fiona but just as good like this.

Really good spontaneity and gives a feeling of loneliness to me .

Many thanks to you all for your generous comments, you are very kind. A couple of you remarked on the feeling of solitude, I’m glad that came over, it is exactly that. Thanks again.

Great energetic and spontaneous drawing Fiona.

Thanks very much Shaun, if I remember it wasn’t very warm at the time!

Your watercolour is more open and spacious, and I do prefer it - but I like your "scruffy" drawings, you get a lot of life and movement into them.

Robert, thank you for those words. Truth is, I prefer my scruffy stuff also! Many thanks Anjana.

Love your very lively mark making and the super light, Fiona.

Thank you Seok.

Thanks Mick!

A4 sketch in ink. This is the last sketch I did before lockdown, and my last visit to the Moss reserve. The woodland around the Moss tends to flood and there are lots of shallow pools, some of them are large in area. A very loose scruffy sketch, I’m going to attempt a watercolour from this....hopefully.
