A beautiful building and excellent drawing. Love the contrast in tones. Just about to read your Natural Line article!

Love your very effective use of ink and was here Alan. It is such a beautiful cathedral.

That's beautifully done Alan. Such interesting mark making, and the pieces you have left white tie everything together so well.

Superb Alan! Wonderfully loose and expressive marks especially in the trees and shrubs. I too enjoyed your recent article!

Again - knew who produced this the moment I saw it. Lovely dark, rich tones against the light, the spires piercing the sky.

I’ve drawn and painted this fabulous cathedral with its famous three spires in just about every medium! This is a recent ink and wash sketch around A4 on Hahnemuhle paper using FW acrylic ink. I’ve added some drama to the sky on this occasion!
