Continued development of elephants

Pencil, coloured pencil

9 x 19cm

I’ve proofed these elephant prints twice now and I think this third version is ‘the one’ although I can’t be sure til I print it. It’s quite a challenge to get the right combinations of tone so that the image and the patterns work together well.

Sketching along the canals of Birmingham

Pencil, pen, watercolour

Today I went on a course run by the RBSA and taught by artist, Wayne Attwood. We walked along the canals, stopping to draw as we went. I saw lots that I’d like to back and draw in the future. There’s a lot of machinery to look at and try to understand that makes drawing the canal very challenging. The atmosphere was lovely – boats going along, people and their dogs, and we were very lucky with the weather.

Preston Deanery Church, Northants

Pencil and watercolour

Sometime last year I drove along the road between Quinton and Great Houghton and glimpsed this unusual view of Preton Deanery Church. Finally today I found somewhere I could stop and draw it!
