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.

Life Drawing, pastels

 A lovely model, she was wearing a purple robe that looked so fantastic, the colour inspired the drawings. I spent about half an hour on each drawing, probably a bit less on the portrait as I didn't want to overwork it.
