A lovely portrait of a lovely lady. Great light and shade Margaret.

Lovely pen lines and shadows here Margaret.

I like this loose style Margaret, I've never managed to achieve it myself. Might be a daft question but do you do the pen work first or watercolour??

Well done Margaret, a great effort!

A stunning pen and wash, Margaret.

Thank you Carole, Louise, Ann, Alan and Mia for your lovely comments :) Ann, re watercolour or pen first - it varies but I usually like to try to capture the colours in paint first and then add the pen - which is what I did above.

Really good work Margaret, lovely lines and colouring.

A lovely and energetic portrait , I like the light and shade very much, Margaret. :)

A different feel, but very attractive, nontheless, Margaret.

Thank you Jennifer, Annick, Margaret and Seok :)
