More clunky words that nobody uses. A4 sketchbook. Pen & Inktense pencils. by Lewis Cooper

Don't know the words but they are sort of self explanatory. Great drawing and imagination.

yes , I needed to look up the meaning of cattywampus , not having met the word before. Educational as well as enjoyable - what more could you wish for !! thanks for your comment - it is appreciated.

Lewis , may I ask a trade secret ? - when using the inktense pencils - do you draw and then wash - or wash from the pencil point and then apply ? ( the paints have arrived , by the way , and they are certainly strong in colour when applied by brush )

Mike...I draw first then use the brush, the pencils effectively become watercolor. (Not too much water). On occasion, when I want a strong line, I will dip the pencil in water. It'll be interesting how you get on with the paints...I've not used them.

Love those words and the painting

I can guess the first ( who couldn't ) but the exact meaning of the second one...must look up the exact definition. They may work their way into my general conversation...you had my husband shaking with laughter, Lewis.

Thanks for expanding my vocabulary Lewis and making me smile this morning. Brilliant as ever.

Thanks to all for having a look and your great feedback.

Another excellent painting Lew, now I’ve got find a dictionary.

I had to look up "cattywampus" too! Great fun for a Saturday morning and another excellent drawing, Lewis.

Educational as well as amusing! Had to look up cattywampus - shame some of these lovely old words have fallen out of use.

Made my day again, Lewis! Brilliant!

Thank you Dixie, Margaret, Jenny and Thalia.

'cattywampus'? That's a new word for me. Maybe now it'll start being used! Another smile from me this morning..great stuff!
