I don’t often work with paint but now and again I get out my rather lovely box of Winsor & Newton half pan artist watercolours and use them with my Faber Castell Pitt drawing pens, to create colour washes with the line work.

Okey dokey 😀
Great job Rosie 😀 Hope you’re doing great, Russell.
Thanks Russell. How are you? Haven’t seen many drawings on your blog recently 😊
I’m fine thanks—up working late. Yes, I’ve been in studio a lot, plan to get more location drawing done in Autumn. Take care, Russell.
Oh that’s good news, I love your public drawings so much.
