Rottingdean Pond by Shirley May

Lovely spontaneous sketch, Shirley.

Nice depth in your picture, lively and fresh, the colour you have added gives it a lovely warm feeling.

Are the two people on the balcony watching you drawing :)

An excellent drawing Shirley and I really like the lovely mellow wash you have added.

Thank you very much for your kind comments, CA, Mia and Christine. I think the two people on the balcony just came out to enjoy the last bits of sun. I did wonder if they had spotted me!

I like this drawing very much. The wash is lovely.

Great pen and wash. I do like the way you have flooded the page with raw sienna (?) or was the paper tinted to start with. Whatever it was, it has worked brilliantly and I love it.

lively and are there figures in the window perhaps??

Hi Gudrun, yes there are to figures leaning on the balustrade. Glad you could make them out! BW Shirley.

A lovely piece, full of atmosphere and spontaneity.
