This is really attractive Stephen, delicate and very effective with the washes running into each other.

What a beautiful composition, love the perspective on those chairs and your very subtle washes set it all off to a T...look forward to seeing your next week's piece here!!!

Stephen, this has such a loose and "European cafe" charm to it, I was drawn to it right away. The squiggles in the branches to the light marks of the chair/table legs, and lovely washes of color! I think this is a winner sketch!

I do like this well observed sketch Stephen. All the detail is there and yet not overdone. It just works!

Turned up for the U3A art group meeting at Daisy Nook garden centre. Only to be told by the manager that is was next week, doh what a fool (me not him)! He kindly said I could sketch on the cafe terrace if I liked. This is the result of his kind offer!
