Yorkshire Magic and Gel-Pen Joy
I've been having fun using Gel pens but before I show you that, here we are (I'm holding the camera so you can't actually see me!) in York. We walked a little way along the City wall but it was only a little way because my fear of heights took over. I never used to be like this before I had chidren, it's quite a nuisance I can tell you! That's the beautiful Minster you can see in the distance behind.
We couldn't leave without visiting the Yorkshire Dales too. The air smelt so divine, so clean, so fresh. The cows were in no hurry to move out of our way!
This bird flew away shortly after I took the picture and if anyone out there reading this knows what it might be called I love to know. :)
I said I'd show you my gel pen pictures and here they are. After drawing, I added water which transformed them into a water colour type effect. I had great fun doing this, so much fun in fact I went out and bought a whole new set. :)
Here below are two pictures using the Inktense pencils, so many colours! I don't know what to choose next, pencils or Gel pens! ;o)
Welcome new followers! I'm so happy to have you here and thankyou for your comments that you've left here. They're very much appreciated, especially as I haven't time at the moment to reply individually, or to visit you. I promise I'll do lots of catching up when the schools are back, LOTS!! :o)

Love all your sketches too, especially the fishes. Great work.
Oh, how you make me long for England! I miss it so much and what a beautiful day you had in York! Those cows in the road reminded me of all the times I stopped in the New Forest for wandering creatures (mainly ponies there, though).
Thanks Jess for the wonderful adventure of this posting!
Do a google image search, and you will be able to see the similarities for sure.
Thanks so much Kathryn!
Thankyou Sara, I thought it might be. :)
Hi Kerri, that so exciting for me! I wish I could see it framed!
Hi Kim, yes the Inktense pencils are so bright aren't they? I think we share the love of colours. :)
Hi June, I did the image search thing but I still can't tell! I so wish I was good at spotting birds. :)
