A cold, miserable Winter's day in the garden.

Love the colour; and the simple style; creating tones; good impact.

Good work Stephen, but it does not feel miserable to me.

Oh dear, Stephen I can't bear to tell you we've had beautiful sunshine here in Galloway today...sorry. I think miserable weather is inspirational for cracking sketches like this one.

Good one Stephen. Monochrome accentuates the value range, its spot on.

Sketched this quickly through the patio door, using a sharpened matchstick and ink. I was going to add some watercolour but decided to leave it as a drawing. Felt cheered, forgetting the drab scene.
