Message: <blockquote data-quote="deborah4" data-source="post: 1528704" data-attributes="member: 29880">Thanks both of you and thanks Jomo and Coleen who commented earlier -  I've just about lost my enthusiasm for this little project now - it's taken hours to go through my sketches and try and pick out some fit for public consumption, then manfully struggle with my scanner which does not like graphite or thick sketchbooks - open lid, one hand on the mouse, one hand holding black cloth over glass - go figure!  Not much left of the field work in the sketchbook anyway so I'll finish with these (the colour on the woodchat was added later using collins for reference!): If I do actually get round to making something of any of the stuff I've posted here, I'll add it in time.   (Thanks again everyone who commented earlier in the thread, it obviously all went south after that!).  I'll probably post a list of species or something in the vacations forum - not sure there was too much interest here for the background stuff!(Ps KittyKat - I found a set of 26 oil pastels in a charity shop yesterday while popping out with a friend for a coffee.   Hadn't used them since I was a kid but for £3 for a brand new set, I wasn't complaining.  Now I am, was up half the night trying to do a pastel composition from one of my fieldnotes of a Squacco - good grief what a disaster and I thought water colour was hard!  Nice garish colours though! (if you ignore the muddy tones and the lack of effort put into actually drawing the correct shape etc)</blockquote>
