Tessa, those hanger type buildings look just great, they would make an interesting painting. I love old buildings Bari, I don't have your skills drawing them but I still like to try and have a go and you don't really realise how complex they are to draw, for example, I thought this would be quite a simple drawing but once I got going, it was actually difficult. I've just finished some work on the oil I'm doing, so, I am going to try and add some colour to the drawing and see if I can get it looking more like the building. Here is the photo of the building I took.

This is another I took, I was lucky to get these 3 joggers passing by that gave some human aspect to the shapes of the buildings down there. The Ships are just the other side .

Excellent photos Denise , I know you will make a really good painting of them , particularly like the one with the jogger. Looking forward to seeing your work. I have a picture in mind of you sat/ stood in the industrial area painting , with a few builders etc looking on to see what your up too, probably think your from the Employment offices checking up on them . Whatever have fun and be safe .

Will lend you my hi viz doggo walking outfit Denise.  I am looking forward to see what you do with this, I literally could think of nothing I would less like to paint.  Lol I’ve been playing in my sketch book with what started as my view , it then got a tad exaggerated though I do look toward the Denbigh moors and do get wonderful mists arising from the Afon  Clwyd.  Just used a monochrome and a brush.

I'll probably need a helmet with flashing lights on down there Sylvia, Lol. I know Denbigh moors, it's not to far and it is certainly a beautiful place. Your monochrome is lovely. You are right, I have never ever seen any artist down that end of town, sketching or painting.

That building is crying out for abstraction! I can’t wait to see what you do, Denise.

Well, Ellen, feel free to use the photo's, I'm just putting a bit of colour to the drawing. I'm busy with a couple of oil paintings at the moment but I hope to go down and paint plein air in the area in a few weeks, when the light is good and the sunlight hits of all the buildings.

Just looking at the shapes and negative space and how the eye follows the composition..
