Taking a break from bookmarks and Christmas card production, I have started another small ink and gouache resist painting.
This little sketch was done after a wander round the forest paths on the Longleat estate in Wiltshire some 5 years ago. I call it The Gamekeeper's Cottage - I am not sure if that is correct, but there seemed to be dozens of pheasants strutting around in the vicinity.

| Pen and wash - approx 4" x 3" |

| Pencil and watercolour under-wash - 10" x 6.5" |

| Part way through adding white gouache |
I can already see that I will have to reinforce some areas of gouache to ensure the subsequent Indian ink wash doesn't dirty the areas I need to keep the lightest.
