That looks wonderful Malcolm, I like the way you have used so many colours, nicely drawn too.

Thank you Margaret. The odd thing is to colour. I know that coloured pencil is transparent but the original is much darker. I can only think that, by taking the photo in bright sunshine, the light has reflected from theme white paper below and lightened the painting, showing some detail that I thought had been coloured over.

Trying out a sample of smooth paper, not unlike Bristol Board, using Koh-i-Noor Polycolour coloured pencils.

I started attending a weekly Watercolour workshop after retiring in December 2014. I also enjoy working with graphite pencils, sometimes supplemented with watercolour pencils. I also use charcoal, pastels, Inktense, pen & ink, and coloured pencils.
