My favorite thing about art is playing with color…so I decided to go out on a limb…several limbs, really, and do something without color. This is a redo of a piece I did earlier with color, only this time I only used a Cross nib pen and water on Fabriano mixed media paper. What do y’all think?

@Bearinthegarden I like it. It almost looks like a see through frosted glass etching

Hi Twilah @Bearinthegarden
This has the feeling of a scratchboard drawing, and I like scratchboard. Actually doing any media in black and white is perfect for getting a better understanding of value and the importance of having a good range of values.
Very nice.

A message to all the artists here on the forum - - - Sonia’s lion is the subject of Matt’s critique this week on the members minute. Be sure to pop over there and hear all the wonderful things he has to say about this MASTERPIECE. Sonia, you really are a pro with those pastels.

Terri w2r @robichon,
Your encouragement has been always most appreciated and helpful. You are a creator of masterpieces, so your kind words mean so much. I watched the critique by Matt which is always an honor to have my own work chosen for it. I realize there is always room for improvement, however, I can see the progress (specifically with pastels) I made since joining TVI.
Also thank you for being such good friend to me!
