Very effective and attractive painting, Margaret, reminiscent of the Cheviots. Delightfully suggestive and impressionistic. Bri

Impressionistic like Brian said, lovely colour washes, Margaret. :)

Thank you Brian :) Photo was taken a few miles south of Jedburgh - so pretty near the Cheviots. Thank you Annick :)

Thanks Margaret :) I am starting to count down the days to the 31st when I will stop! (at least, I intend to continue trying to do a sketch a day for as long as possible but will stop posting daily on the Gallery).

Started this one at art class yesterday but ran out of time so finished it today. Didn't work out quite how I wanted! Watercolour on roughly A2 loose (very old) paper - CP I think.
