I agree with what you are suggesting Alan , I’m still getting used to having a toned paper and forget that I can incorporate that in the painting . You get so used to covering the white background etc that you automatically do the same , I’ve have been looking at several different artists work mainly one of your favourites Rowland Hilder for inspiration and study, I also look at your own work as it is inspiring .

Thanks Denise , I need to get into that mindset as I’m tending to see the paper as the carrying medium.
I will persevere and do some more small practice pieces, remember to incorporate the tone of the paper in with the painting , all fun and good learning. There is always something new to learn and try out , that’s what makes this hobby so interesting, I say hobby but it’s become more a part of my everyday life and routine.
