Really like that Fiona - very unusual, like the marks and the limited colour.

Lovely and bold Fiona, and great choice of pallette ☺

Super effects Fiona. I think that dog likes you it’s pulling on the lead to get near.

Nice effect Fiona!

Thank you Jim, you can get some really interesting results using bleach in different strengths into Quink. Thanks very much ladies, you should give this medium a go I think you would like playing with it. Thanks John. He was very interested in my bag that I had left on the floor.....I was hoping he wasn’t going to christen it! Thank you very much Marjorie!

I thought that it's Dennis and Arthur on their evening walk. Lovely little painting Fiona!

You're brave using bleach Fiona, good result though :)

What a very original idea, Fiona. It is worth trying. I might give it a go next week maybe. Very nice result you have there.

Great perspective and depth Fiona. I love it when you experiment.

Works really well with that very limited palett. Lovely subject too.

At 1st glance, my jaundiced eye at the thumbnail told me there were two horse riders on his right. Great fill in work at the end of your session

12x9 Quink ink and bleach on Jackson’s paper. I was doing some sketching on Southfield lane for this project thingy and whilst I was sketching something in the opposite direction these two came strolling by. It was late afternoon and the sun was on it’s last legs but lit the lane up, I snapped a quick photo and thought the bleach effect would give the feeling of late winter sun against the darker areas.
