Old railway carriage, Rothbury


This is one of a series of drawings that I have been working on for some time. I have used oil pastels mainly to build up a textured surface.

The railway carriage is on a hillside in Rothbury along a favourite pathway, it has been used for a shelter for sheep and it has been gradually decomposing over time.

I'd better get the drawings done quickly as one day there won't be anything left of it.

Pen and ink drawings

Back to life drawing after the summer break and back to work so I haven't added anything to the blog recently.
These drawings were made on paper that I had stained with tea, then using a pen with Quink and a brush to soften any lines.
