Love the format Martin of your beautiful swan. I can remember feeding the swans at Clumber when they were taller than me!

Chris Bobbie Fiona. Thanks so much for commenting. Definitely got me taped. The swans at Clumber are pretty bold with humans as they see so many. They must seem huge to small children

Only just seen this, but ditto all the above. Really nice use of ink and wash.

Last autumn I posted a quick drawing of a swan from Clumber Park who had mugged me for my flapjack. This year I was sketching the cafe creepers when this young lady stood very close all the while eyeing me up and down muttering.

Naturally I caved in and shared my flapjack. Fude pen and ink with watercolour on Canson wc paper 30x14cm
