Thank you very much for your kind comments and for stopping by and following. I'm glad that you found my blog too :)<br />I may be a little absent from blogging for a short while as I am going on a week long family vacation/holiday to the UK South West Coast on Saturday. However, I do hope to get lots of sketching done while I am there, which I will share with you all as soon as I can.

She said, 'Anything in particular?' I said, no not sky as in television - I mean I am watching the ACTUAL sky!' She laughed. I was looking at the most beautiful sunset of the most amazing colours! Far better than anything television could offer, lol!Sandra Busbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05622208510609673242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-276062082073138496.post-59005747796076536332011-07-25T11:57:55.088+01:002011-07-25T11:57:55.088+01:00No, not yet Michael.

They are very encouraging and much appreciated. Ciao!<br /><br />Hi Pat - thank you. I have used a sponge before but usually it's a spray bottle or, as I did for this, a brush. Apparently, the secret is to only hit the paper with pigment once the shine has started to go but I'm always too impatient :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14423986562925121890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-276062082073138496.post-42110498204817776632011-07-24T23:22:21.924+01:002011-07-24T23:22:21.924+01:00I like that sky Michael, with the granulated textu...I like that sky Michael, with the granulated texture.
