The drawings make the most of your skill with a pen, and allow you to add colour without the difficulties of using wet watercolour.<br /><br />You might be interested to know that I used to work in this way, although I used watercolour instead of pencils.Keith Tilleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04114006831583939493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5051629921855027241.post-77224788403770430512015-12-01T15:10:47.940+00:002015-12-01T15:10:47.940+00:00With or without color your work is stunning John !...With or without color your work is stunning John !

I recently painted a trio of birds, but before I did them in paint, I did some pencil sketches first. You can see them here if you're interested... http://www.sketch-mad.com/2015/10/the-dawn-chorus-part-1.html ... It worked okay but I think it is far easier in pencil than in pen! I love all of your birds, but also those beautiful houses - one of which was in 'The Haywain', right? Beautiful! :0)Sandra Busbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05622208510609673242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5051629921855027241.post-77244832728981029342015-12-01T09:07:29.923+00:002015-12-01T09:07:29.923+00:00Hi John.
