Having taken a break after the last attempt (above), and having a bout of Sketchers Block and Manflu, I find that everyones having a 'Robin' moment, I can only deduce that the end of the year is nearly upon us again.....
So I thought 'Ill have a go at that' and in my normal - loose, no thought, minimal detail let alone pencil lines, throw somthing at a piece of paper - style, Here is somthing I made earlier.....and with a nod in the direction of Mr Derry's multi substance approach, Ive added a few misplaced strokes of an old Dipping Ink Pen, and some colour pencil, although I held back at sticking newspaper to it - thought Id leave that to those who know what they are doing......
.
In reviewing my personal approach thus far this year...mmmmm not bad, consider my first miniscule heavy handed lumps in the midst of a white sheet of paper, to some (in my opinion) better watercolour efforts... Targets for next year..? Learn to sketch from real life...
Thank you one and all for being tolerant to a new commer, and a complete novice such as myself. Especially my long suffereing guide Mike, who has to put up with my bitching every weekend.
Have a safe one, and see what next year brings
