Monday Painters have started again after a summer break. Our first evening was to do a Pen and Wash of a window or door. This little sketch was done in an hour and quarter from a photo I had. I was pleased with the freeness and freshness of it.

I still have not mastered a way to getting a good reproduction of my pictures into my blog. If I photography them the colour match is very poor. If I scan them in the colour match is excellent but the join marks show where I try and stitch the bits of the same picture together. I will get there one day.
