Many thanks David, much appreciated.

Our friend Alan Owen sometimes uses part of an old clothes-peg with ink; and another of our regulars, Michael Edwards, has been known to use bits of twig - I've used a match-stick sometimes: good with Chinese ink, because it can be reduced to just the consistency you've got here, or even paler, and can also give the full range of strong blacks. Like this, and your coloured study too.

Many thanks Robert.
