Finished Birch Glade

Finaly got it finished. I will hang it on my wall before deciding if I like it. Still not sure...maybe it will grow on me. I think the sunlight and shadows on the ground has worked well. I think on reflection I might darken the leaves a little, I feel it needs a little more ooomph.

Size 15" x 15"
Pencils: Faber Castell Polycromos and Derwent watersoluble pencils used as an underwash
Support: Cradled prepared MDF

    Just playing 'catch up' Bev and realise this is one I really wanted to take a closer look at on your wall - but arriving at your house so late (traffic) everything went out of my head. I think this is definitely the way to go for exhibition pieces now where you have to courier entries to the Galleries ... Glazed pictures are just impossible to insure/ship these days.

    Hopefully will get the chance to see this lovely work close-up at a later date
