Two lovely sketches, Margaret, I find there is atmosphere.

They are both lovely, Margaret. Love the spontaneous and lively pen-work.

Thank you Mia :)

I think both of these are very successful Margaret . You have taken a very “Twee “ scene and breathed life into it.

I agree, a lovely spontaneous pair of paintings Margaret.

I just love your sketches. This has a look like the weather's turning, you know how it goes before the rain comes and it washes all the snow away. Love it.

Having been inspired by other's efforts, I thought I would have a go at this challenge - have done 2 on one piece of paper (the last sheet of an old cheap 140 lb watercolour pad). The top one was supposed to be a pure watercolour but had to rescue it with pen. The lower one was a pen drawing with wash added. Both are pretty quick - good fun but not wildly successful!

About the Artist

Margaret Nisbet

I'm an amateur artist. I have drawn all my life - used to be mainly portraits but now a wider range. Did a lot of portrait/figure drawing at classes for a while in the 1990s then had a break from doing much at all until a couple of years ago, since when I've gone back to classes and workshops run…
