Christel - really good pieces, I love the horses.

Joe - love your drawings. They're so expressive.

Deborah - lovely portrait, I really like the fur.

Joy - lovely elephant, I'm enjoying your work with this palette! I like the sense of movement.

E. P. - you were busy! Very good.

Anne - Lovely ink work. Really like both of these.

Penny - no objection from me - Benny is gorgeous! So sorry about Indy.

Lesley - lovely colours and blending. Good sense of depth too, the horse is walking out of the paper!

I got something done today, still deciding whether or not to post it. May do another one.

Thank you, Kay.

Here's mine. It's in my Seawhite 20x20cm sketchbook, various pens and coloured pencils. I wanted to try and make the silhouette of the bird interesting instead of a solid colour, so used pens of varying thicknesses. It reminded me a bit of wire mesh, which is why it crumbles at the edges. I like how it turned out, so I'll try this again. I did attempt the water splashes, as they were the reason I chose this picture, but they looked terrible, so here's just the bird.

Very interesting Kay. At first I thought it was made of pieces of fabric glued to the paper. I am looking forward to seeing what else you come up with using the technique.
