More Lessons learned..

A group I belong to on Facebook has a 'challenge' running, I missed January but did the February challenge.
A photo is given and everyone puts their own spin on it, there are no winners nor losers but  instead you can learn a lot from others interpretations, here is mine;

Country Lane

I am reasonably happy with it, some bits more than others :-)


I also followed a video where the artist used a credit card to scrape out rocks in a landscape. Once you get the 'dampness' right it works quite well..

  2. Both of these are nice, Alan. Great aerial perspective in the top one.

    As an aside, there is no such thing as Noodler's Carbon Black. There is Noodler's Black (a dye-based ink) and Platinum Carbon Black (a fountain-pen friendly pigmented ink).
