Lovely piece Stephen.

The fast ones are sometimes the best - this is very effective.

Manyt thanks once again Maureen.

Like it Stephen

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.

Quick pen sketch using the old matchstick and ink, background with diluted ink, applied with a brush.

I am a self taught amateur painter, I mostly paint landscapes in watercolour but I 'dabble' in other mediums from time to time. I really enjoy my art, especially painting outdoors when the weather allows.
