← Hello everyone. I’m new to the group. I’ve been going through the previous videos. I tried using watercolour for sketching; this is a medium I don’t usually use. I shall keep practising with it! I made a quick charcoal sketch, then spread the material with a damp sponge to achieve expressive marks. →

Very nice subtle colour Maura, offset by the linear black ink. I often find that lovely light appears unexpectedly, particularly after a rainy day – well done for catching it!
