Thought I had better post an update on this WIP, The snow is driving me crazy, I have on more than one occasion asked myself why am I doing this!!!! I draw maybe ten times the amount of snow that is needed and the randomly cover most of them over with layers of pencil as you can see on the left hand side, the background need many layers to get the right effect and then I use blue tac to lift small areas as with the distant tree effect, I also have to make sure that each flake doesn't finish with a halo effect around it as I alter the shapes etc. Have to have this finished by today, as I am away working next week and need to get it to the framers...

Stunning piece Grahame! Its fun to watch you create the dark background. The snow looks so light and airy. It really adds to the drawing and shows a tremendous amount of hard work!
Thanks Brenda, hard work as you say, but slowly getting there!
