Thank you! I can’t believe that I used to be scared of using green in my work at a time. (There’s a post somewhere in my archives all about it.)

hi, Nino, sorry for the/delay replying - I haven’t been feeling great, NEVER BE SCARED OF ANY COLOR, LINE, TEXTURE, love the coastal aqua in your work! + all the shades of greens!

Lovely sketches! That view looks beautiful but overwhelming to draw. You’ve done a great job of capturing it!

Thank you! Yes, it can be quite overwhelming. But as with most things, the more you do it, the easier it gets. Luckily! Sometimes that thought is all that keeps me motivated to stick with something difficult.

Hi, I love your work. In this case I particularly like the top view. In paintings I often wonder if I'd like to be in them (a bit like Mary Poppins), well I'd be straight in into that one 😀

Thank you so much! I can absolutely imagine the Mary Poppins version of it.

Thank you, Theresa! Drawing the window is one of the little tricks I use to help with these kind of scenes. It really helps to position everything in context.
