>>Hi Tony, Using my iPad as a camera I've taken a picture of the monochrome of Slaters Bridge.  It was an hour and half's work using only blue (ultramarine I guess).  For monochrome colours  of the bridge in the snow I used various shades of blue with white  and touches of black for drama..  It was painted in soft pastels on black wet and dry emery paper of very fine grit which has a good tooth to hold the pastel. .  We did these kinds of exercises to sharpen our technique and our appreciation of tone.  The bridge is a fascinating array of colours and textures in summer but winter is a different matter . I don't fix my paintings as  it tends to deaden the colours otherwise I'd send it to you it's only sitting in a drawer to go on the skip when I pop off! Thanks for keeping me in touch with your beautiful Lakeland, Terry
