sketch by Louise Naimian

Love the little girl in the red dress skipping along! Another interesting view of Tib Street.

Lovely lively scene

Another really lively piece.

Busy, busy,busy! Love the livelyness of this Louise! I've been away a while and have a lot to catch up on.

Thanks Christine, Glennis, Michael and Sarah. It was done so quickly which could only result in it being lively! Possibly I need to slow down. The thing is, the weather's so good at the moment I want to be outside but feel a certain guilt if I'm not painting, so rush a sketch off. I think some of you will know that feeling!

I agree with the above comments, Louise. They said it all: lively and spontaneous!

Thank you Mia.

Very loose and lively ink and wash sketch Louise. Glad you kept the paint quite light - just did a lovely little loose drawing - then decided to completely cover it with thickly painted water colour (doh) and lost the drawing. I hope you do some more of these as this one is great.

Great loose sketch Louise, you are good at these street scenes.

Sorry for being so tardy in commenting, but life gets so hectic at times! This has such a different feel to your other Manchester sketches - much more muted and gentle, but I love it. The casual addition of the figures and notices add to the atmosphere and the wonderful use of expressive washes set the tone of the painting. A nice and surprising addition to your Manchester series.

Brilliant work, Louise! Love the figures in the foreground, they add such life and movement to the piece.

Many thanks Joseph, Carole, Thea and Seok.

Lovely little sketch Louise, different colours, different people, great!

Thanks Satu!
