[QUOTE="geefull, post: 2291135, member: 305199"] good evening all :) was 4.5 this morning up early and out dropping off the car, the garage is still trying to trace a niggling fault :( then we picked up Mum and took her to collect her pension and some worm tablets for Katy. After that we picked Katy up and brought her back home with us for the day, so, we've had lots of walks today :hilarious: finished off with a barbecue in mum's garden after we went back to pick up the car, very enjoyable it was too ;) hot here today and pretty close and humid tonight so I don't know how we'll sleep. Haven't seen so many visitors to the village on one day for a long time, so many people that they were parking on the church forecourt because the car parks were all full. We stayed out of the way ;) [USER=238814]@gennepher[/USER] - interesting new work using those strokes to build the depth, I admire Hokusai too, he had such a strong graphic style :) [USER=470000]@Alien Aspie[/USER] - I like the 'woodcut' effect of your portrait very much and the humming bird is so delicate :) I think I would be tempted to make a couple of variations as [USER=238814]@gennepher[/USER] suggested, (but then I'm someone who tends to keep a copy at every stage when I'm photo retouching 'just in case' :hilarious:) [USER=179219]@dunelm[/USER] - still going strong :) your mountain looks as if it grew out of the bones of the world. [USER=505893]@Muddy Cyclist[/USER] - I like both versions of your painting but prefer the earlier version, I particularly liked the warm red in the foreground which tied the composition together. The new painting looks very promising too :joyful: Knowing when to stop doing what my gran would call 'pickling about with it' is a thing isn't it :sorry: art bit - I was having a bit of a shot with the small set of 'inktense' pencils I have and will do some more experiments too to see how they work in conjunction with watercolour - my bee wouldn't 'beehave' [ATTACH=full]43032[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
