Chetham's School of Music, Manchester.

It's fine anyway Stephen, sometimes architectural stuff doesn't lend itself to being too loose.

Lovely balance Stephen and it's always good to do a more studied piece when we are in the mood

I agree with Alan and Dennis Stephen, not easy to be loose when painting buildings, however I have found the use of a matchstick to apply the ink in line and wash gives me more varied marks in my drawing.

Many thanks everyone for your thoughtful comments, I was going to use the old matchstick but I thought this lovely old building needed a more careful approach.

How about a contrasting piece on the same scene, loose and wild, but obviously bound by shapes? .... :-) (my attempt at a smiley)

A fine drawing of the buildings, Stephen. Lovely colours too.

Many thanks Gudrun, I will have a go!

Many thanks Mia, much appreciated.

Lovely painting Stephen.It has an element of Lowry about it.

Many thanks Peter, I wonder if the great man painted Chetham's?

Works very well, Stephen

Many thanks Maureen.

Very well done Stephen,

Many thanks David.
