Great charcoal and the yellow works wonders!

Many thanks Gudrun, surprising how such a little residue of pastel on the stump shows up so well.

Nice work Stephen, it's good to try different mediums and this has worked out well. Good composition and tonal range.

This caught my eye it's a great charcoal sketch and from being an imagined subject very realistic.

Quick charcoal sketch of an imaginary loch on a peaceful day., I used a paper stump to smooth the background hill, must have had a little yellow on it but I quite like the hint of colour, happy accident for once!
