I was puzzled by your use of rough watercolour paper until you zoomed in on the black and white photo and saw the light texture marks. The heavy paper texture really helped to bring this out. Looked like fun to do!
oh - you've brought back a happy memory. i went on holiday to devon/cornwall border years ago and because my budget wasn't big and i like the landscape all year round, i went in about the last week of january. self catering farm shed conversion and there was a lane like that leading uphill from the farmyard. wellies, woollies and a camera and because the cornish climate is warmer and the lane so sheltered, the primroses were in bud. sketch book, complicated knitting pattern, half bottle of scotch and an open fire for the long dark evenings. perfect for a prematurely curmudgeon gal!
I see a man here deliberately making life difficult for himself: happily, I also understand why - the more you have to struggle with strong media, the greater the potential for making convincing marks. But - sooner you, my boy, than me .... what's fun for you is hard work for the rest of us. OK - now then: conté crayon; carbon pencil; carbon black or Indian ink - all would be a lot easier than the materials you've chosen; but then 'a lot easier' doesn't appeal to you, does it? You want fun - as in - Masochism! Well, more strength to you.
Love the process……. Beautiful ❤
absolutely gorgeous drawing. I is inspiring me to use graphite in a more painterly way. thank you

Fantastic, the paper certainly adds to the texture. I have some of this paper from a shop in Truro. I'm going to play now you've inspired again.❤

Wonderful to see you dancing in a way on that khadi paper...btw...about the cataloque? Is it still availeble? Greetings, Jan
I love trying new media and also like when other people challenge themselves!
Beautiful work as usual Andrew. What type of camera are you using? Photo looks great too.
Thank you. I use a Fuji xpro 2 (which is not brilliant for video) and my iPhone camera 👍🏻
Which brand is your graphite stick, have problems finding them?
