This is fabulous, Carole. I especially like the granulation effect with the purple. Its great to experiment at times.

Thanks Ellen very kind of you. The grapes are a bit greener in life, couldn't get an accurate colouring on photo.

This is lovely Carole, really like the way you have done the background and the colours are very complimentary of each other 😀

Very beautiful! The soft focus effect holds the viewer in and the granulation effects are fantastic!

Lovely mix of detail, shading and subtle colour. Nice work Carole...

This is beautiful , Carole. I've not tried gouache with inks, it's produced some lovely effects. (Did you add gouache while the ink was still wet, or apply afterwards?)

Many thanks everyone for your kind comments. Jenny the inks were dry when I used gouache.

Love the colours Carole, the depth of texture and richness in the purples really sets off the grapes.
