Well I’m really being shown up on this challenge! Great selection Jenny, well done.

Wow! You've been busy, Jenny. I admired the four, the six is even better...lovely work.

Many thanks, Alan and Lewis! (Despite it being a bit repetitive, I did actually enjoy doing this one, especially trying out different mediums that I wouldn't normally use. It's so easy to get stuck in the rut of using what we're familiar with!)

They are a superb set Jenny. Fascinating how they all create such different moods .lovely !

Thanks, Diana! (These monthly challenges are fun to do - and some more challenging than others - this one was quite a lot of work!)

Interesting to see how the same subject with a different palette can change the "image" of a painting from a limited palette to monochrome.

Thanks for commenting, Clive. This was an interesting exercise using some mediums which I'd not used before. I think my preferred image is the lino cut followed by the NeoColour II pastels (top left.)

A second attempt at this challenge - I've based it on a lino cut I did a while ago. From top left - Neocolour II wax water soluble pastels, pen and pencil with coloured wash, Inktense pencils, Quink ink, pen and gouache, lino cut. Don't think I'll be doing another one, it was a lot of work! Look forward to seeing what everyone else does.
