WIP (I think) - Jedburgh Abbey doorway

It's coming along very nicely, Margaret, with the blocks and dimensions all in place. I hope you finish it. Bri

Yes , Margaret, It is coming along very nicely like Bri said, love the different colours,hope you finish it as well, it looks pretty good,Margaret.

Lovely loose approach Margaret, could be finished!

A lovely delicate watercolour Margaret. I think you’ll probably do more to this, will be interesting to see!

Great washes Margaret with a very pleasing result.

It's looking good, great colours but if you are like me I wouldn't be able to resist some pen and ink, 😀😀😀

Great fresh brushwork, Margaret. Like you I go straight in with the brush, love it so far, are you going to do more? It works as it is, anyway!

Thanks Bri, Annick, Alan, Tessa, Carole, Linda and Thalia for your lovely and helpful comments - much appreciated. I might just leave this one as it is - at least for a few days! The technique was inspired by Arthur Melville's middle eastern paintings (love his stuff!) - it probably does need more work but I'm worried about overworking it - and ruining it completely! I might just try doing another one of the same subject and see how it goes. Linda - artist pens are always a temptation to me! :)

A little touch of ink here and there....perhaps, great as it is mind you.

Thanks, Fiona - yes, it probably could do with a touch of ink! but I was trying to do a pure watercolour inspired by the wonderful Arthur Melville - I can see me doing a few versions of this - even though the photo of the Abbey was taken in the rain the colours of the stone are gorgeous.

I love the fresh loose approach and it’s described well. Possibly a bit of colour strength or tiny bit of detail in the front to bring it forward

Thank you Diana - these are good ideas. I will leave it a few days and have another look. Thank you to everybody for comments and suggestions - much appreciated. :)
