Early February by the Water, Clumber Park by Martin S Taylor

The cold wintery feel comes through. Those spidery branches are spot on and the touch of colour finishes it all perfectly.

A perfect wintry scene!!

Love that wintry atmosphere you have captured so skilfully. In spite of winter, you can tell that everything is on the cusp of becoming alive.

Love this, Martin, superb mark making and very atmospheric. Those fine lines are spectacular

You should be more than "reasonably pleased" with this. It's lovely!

This is a particularly good sketch Martin, I like your mark making very much

Such beautiful trees that are drawn extremely well, I’d me more than pleased with such a lovely piece.

The muted colours and still water evoke a sense of calm. Very good pen work too.

Love those trees.

You've magically turned "glumness" into calm beauty. The choice of one "yellow" -based hue overall brings everything together into harmony. Delicate sky. Wonderful composition.

Beautifully drawn and you have captured the chilly atmosphere so well!

Though it was a chilly and drab day I managed a sketch by the lake at Clumber Park. Typical luck was that we set off in brilliant sunshine and drove back in the same but had overcast glumness whilst we sketched. I was however reasonably pleased with my sketch in ink to which I added inktense pencil colour back home. On Canson Heritage watercolour paper cp 10x14” block
