Helen Hanson Gigha Shore, ink and coloured pencil, 4¾x4¾in (12x12cm). ‘This small image was from my first Scottish series in ink and coloured pencil. It was also my first attempt at interpreting a rocky shoreline using both media together. Once the flowers were in place, I just observed and let ink and coloured pencil do the rest. I used everything: strong and fine ink lines, random marks, dots, embossing, lifting out and layers of colour – whatever would convey the striking rock formations that made up Gigha’s shore.’
