Dipper.Had fun with this although I'm not sure that the stream works in monochrome. Its hard to get the feeling of looking down through the ripples to the stream bed. I've painted watercolours like this and its easier to suggest the different planes of view using colour.

Thanks for comments - I am using black board - I've only just learned there is such a thing as white, which you can ink, and draw on also - which opens up a whole new set of possibilities. One step at a time!
I keep looking at yours for guidance.
Many thanks.
PS The water works very well!
Hi Jennifer
Don't know what happened with the comments. Don't know why one comment got posted three times!
With regard to the scraperboard, I use white as it is a bit more versatile and you don't have to remove so much material if you want large areas of white. Both types have there advantages depending on how you want the finished piece to look. Using black will give an effect much more similar to a traditional woodengraving.
This is turning into a super collection, Stuart. These latest two are smashers.
Thanks Emma, glad you like them.
