Line and wash - La Porolle

Comments

Nice to see you back, Mike. This is beautifully drawn and has great charm. I like your stonework where you've achieved looseness, and also the soft washes. I try to avoid always keeping within the lines and use sketchy lines to get a looser effect but I don't always achieve this!
