Lovely all-over glow to the scene Val. I've never used pastelmat before, must try it.

Cheers everyone. I'd raise a glass of whisky to you all for those generous comments but, as I don't like whisky, will brandy do instead? LOL

Nice one Val, love the den city of colour you have archived, totally agree with you about trying to match the pencils against the support, I'm still trying to find my favourite.
