This conjures up a great feeling of freedom and space Teresa. Love the movement.

Good one Tessa, give me skis and snow and I’m there (in my dreams)!

This is obviously your dream Tessa. My balance isn’t good enough to try it, but it looks very exciting!

Tessa, you're very good at getting the balance/stance of the figure just right, as in this one. The weight bearing is crucial and the sense of going downhill is perfect.

I love this Tessa, it makes you feel like having a go.

Thank you Carole, freedom and space seem to go together don’t they, especially at the moment. Katy, skis and snow!?

Denise, feel free to have a go, I’ll just watch! 🤣

Our art group theme this week is Transport and/or Freedom, so this is my A4 effort combining both. I’ve also combined coloured pencils for the background with gouache and pen for the skateboarder. Hopefully the use of different media makes the figure stand out more.
