Definitely a must for tonal work Stephen… use four mixes it three if on tinted paper. Nice work!

4 mixes of different strengths I meant to say… grey paper would act as your mid tone. Strathmore Gray mixed media paper is great, Amazon stock it!

I do enjoy painting tonal sketches like this excellent one Stephen and they certainly do help to develop your skill, I mostly use Payne Grey , try using indigo that gives sone excellent results.

A little (A5), sketchbook ‘doodle’, just using Paynes Grey. Imagining a winter scene. A lot of art teacher’s recommend doing these to improve use of tone.

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.
