Re: WDE Aug 28: Edinburgh Castle.

Great line work, it really captures the starkness of the rocks and castle. I don't think it needs colour. Jen

wonderful Maureen. I've always liked pen work, because done right, like in this, the lack of color is actually a plus.

Great pen work and I agree that it does not need any color. It is wonderful as it is.

Excellent pen work. I always like color, even a little blue to suggest winter snow, but you are busy this weekend and your pen is great.
