We never stop learning as we march onwards and upwards. ;-)John (JWJarts)https://www.blogger.com/profile/17802012611212667028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5051629921855027241.post-91969052898446571832015-11-10T12:47:35.233+00:002015-11-10T12:47:35.233+00:00I love using lost and found edges.

When the tone in one area of an object matches the tone of the surrounding area, the edge between the two areas simply disappears and the two areas appear as one shape. So I suppose if the sun was hitting part of a roof and it was so bright that it was the same tone of the sky, that roof edge would become invisible and blend in with the sky... Of course you know all of this, but for the benefit of those that don't, it's worth explaining. Its a beautiful drawing John :0)Sandra Busbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05622208510609673242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5051629921855027241.post-3117449967641651152015-11-04T20:56:03.360+00:002015-11-04T20:56:03.360+00:00Thank you very much Cattis, and how lovely to see ...Thank you very much Cattis, and how lovely to see you here. ;-)John (JWJarts)https://www.blogger.com/profile/17802012611212667028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5051629921855027241.post-11238675479421635932015-11-04T20:52:15.539+00:002015-11-04T20:52:15.539+00:00Thank you very much Keith ... and thank you for th...Thank you very much Keith ... and thank you for the previous comment that set me thinking about 'lost and found lines' in the first place.John (JWJarts)https://www.blogger.com/profile/17802012611212667028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5051629921855027241.post-57852917713815604252015-11-04T20:02:46.553+00:002015-11-04T20:02:46.553+00:00Oh you did some great stuff since last visit here ...Oh you did some great stuff since last visit here :)Catharina Engberghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06796619395187342756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5051629921855027241.post-36318327415712797722015-11-03T09:58:32.106+00:002015-11-03T09:58:32.106+00:00Excellent work John, and the top of the roof is a ...Excellent work John, and the top of the roof is a perfect example of 'lost and found'; the snow stands out against the sky and appears whiter to me, even though there's no ink line separating them.Keith Tilleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04114006831583939493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5051629921855027241.post-852163382665831912015-11-02T11:42:34.483+00:002015-11-02T11:42:34.483+00:00This is a lovely comment John and coming from some...This is a lovely comment John and coming from someone as masterly with the pen as you are means a great deal.

I particularly like the way you have let the trees define the edge of the roof rather than a drawn line, masterly.
