Alone on the Fen by Fiona Phipps

Comments

Beautifully done Fiona , I just love the looseness of your work, it certainly has the wet Fens vibe.

Well captured Fiona. Reminds me of something like Wuthering Heights and the Yorkshire moors. Anyway very dramatic.

I agree with Chris - full of atmosphere

I concur Fiona! There is nowhere quite like the Fens for atmosphere and you have caught it beautifully here.

Love the feeling you have portrayed of being alone with nature Fiona. Very expressive and so natural and unrestrained.

It sounds like a most peaceful place Fiona. Great Charcoal.

Super picture, very atmospheric.

Dramatic and atmospheric Fiona, I feel I can sense the silence!

Atmosphere is what it’s all about and this is certainly moody. Excellent charcoal Fiona.

Super charcoal work Fiona.

So atmospheric - well done!

Beautiful, Fiona, so atmospheric. Very effective in monochrome.

Wonderful. I could see this as the illustration for a rather spooky story.

Love this, and I like the title too !!

Nice work Fiona.

Thank you everyone for your lovely supportive comments…..always appreciated. I was attempting an atmosphere of quiet wildness…..

Moody and mysterious, great work Fiona.

Thanks Val! 👍

Love this style of sketching Fiona. Full of movement.

Thank you so much Shaun.

Ohhh love this. Very dramatic.

Many thanks for your kind comment Olga.

Very effective charcoal work Fiona and the touches of white have been added perfectly.

Thank you George, very much.

Very atmospheric and a distinct feeling of loneliness Fiona. Very well done.

Thank you Brian, I’m pleased you felt the mood.

Powdered and willow charcoal with a dash of chalk. From my own reference. Not just the old willow….you can stand anywhere in the Fens and think you are the only person alive!
