That looks good Mike, your picture looks great on dark paper. Since Christmas I have also been using coloured pencils and I love them - no mess and I find much better control.

My favourite medium. What a lovely picture

Another lovely painting Mike. A great medium.

my thanks for the kind comments. The actual drawing shows the barn browner in colour which I prefer. - doesn't jump off the page at you.

I think you’ve got them cracked Mike, like this very much.
