Looking for the Seam.

Great sketch, it captures the essence of being in a in mine. Would make a great dark moody picture, of which you are going to do brilliantly.

Oh yes definitely a painting Denise , you are really good at those dark tunnels etc. This is a really good sketch, reminds me of the time I was in the mine , but we had a battery lamp of course.

Mines are very dark indeed and you have definitely captured the mood. Have you thought about the miner’s lamp and the necessary canary?

Great sketch Denise 👌

A good strong drawing, Denise. I look forward to the painting.

You have definitely caught the mood of being down a mine!!

Avery strong painting underpinning the dangers of mining Denise

Good sketch, powerful expression

Thanks very much David, Paul, Linda, Faye, Lewis, David, Carole and Heather. I like your idea Linda. I plan a few sketches to get a feel for it then I'll do a painting.

Lovely tonal work that really captures the mood and atmosphere of the mine.

I like your use of charcoal here. Keep the ideas flowing!

Charcoal is the perfect medium to capture this kind of subject I think Denise, you’ve used it to great effect.

Perfectly worked Denise, great medium for this subject.
