        I love the image and the paintings that were done using the image … but I’m still concentrating on trying to capture the essence in just a few minutes. This is my Stone Bridge… 5 minutes for pencil sketch and another 5 minutes for ink. I’ve decided that I can save the ink for when I have more time and that would have made this one a better sketch but…. I’m learning as I go.

            Excellent exercise with the quick sketches. Your gesture lines are to die for. There is so much energy and spontaneity that I could swear you had done it from life. Your water flow is great. Great composition.
            Big congrats from my part

                    Amazing sketch! Very encouraging to try more quickies like that, too.

                            Good job – your sketch says a lot with very few words!

                                5 minutes and you got the feel and essence of a pretty complicated scene. I love it…spontaneous and simplified but still complete!

                                    I am loving your quick sketches, Helen. So much energy here! You make complex scenes seem so much less intimidating. :-) Your drawing is very expressive, nicely done, and right on to the scene.

                                    I am encouraged to try this daily habit, now that my flood situation is getting resolved.
