John (astaman) of WetCanvas lives in Shetland just 150 yards from this scene
and has given me permission to use his photo as a reference. Thank you, John. The image is 6 1/2″ x 8 1/2″ on bristol with .25 and .45 Pigma pens.
I appreciate all comments.

We must leave our mark on this worldFebruary 14, 2019 at 7:15 am #782516AnonymousVery nice, Bill. Great control of those pens to make the stonework so real.
February 14, 2019 at 8:29 am #782515It’s as if I was there Bill. Seriously though it’s an excellent drawing. As Doug said, the texture is masterful. If you don’t mind one more thought, I think you could push the tonal contrast bit harder but it’s a very fine little drawing. I’ll post more pictures in Wash when I dig them out.

My Youtube videosFebruary 15, 2019 at 11:12 am #782507Yes, maybe a little more contrast in some areas but really, this is a super drawing Bill and does justice to this lovely place …. if you get the chance to see the programme where it’s used, worth watching!
John – we could use some of your photos of this in the RIL if you’d like to share them!:)
Cheers, Maureen

Les, thanks for looking at the drawing. I look up to you as good judge and teacher.
