I have been playing with trying to make my work feel like pencil drawing. I haven’t really figured out how I do it when I get the look that excites me.

This one feels like I used a delicate light grey to paint and draw with gorgeous tree.

A little series I did one afternoon at Nelson Bay in the car park. I dropped the blacks to grey for each one in the tone curve.

Now I am wondering if it will make a nice scarf?
