Blacksmiths Shop, Kerikeri NZ - twig and ink.

Very good work with your twig Michael, wash or not it is great. All this snail drawing is giving you a deft hand at sketching!

Good that you took a different approach to this project Michael. Changing the trees to more winters, leafless look. I think that's what is interesting with the project, the different interpretations from various artists.

It's excellent, Michael. It stands very well on its own, but I can also see it tinted with your signature luminous and clear washes and coming out beautifully.

Great drawing Michael

Great take on the Blacksmiths Shop from LP, super idea to do it as a pen and ink and it is so delicately captured, just brilliant

Thanks all - will try to find a few moments tomorrow to add some washes.

Nice one Michael. I like your free style done with a twig and also that it is set in a wider landscape than the photo. I kept to a more detailed and rigid style in my painting, perhaps if I attempt it in another medium I will set it a wider landscape.

Great to see what can be done with twig and ink but is that a giant snail that has crept in on the left?

Excellent Michael, love the different take on the subject, but I always love your twig & ink paintings.

Really good work Michael!! I particularly like the blacksmith's shop and the trees.
