Of course, it doesn’t show up in an ink drawing so well, but I have started on a couple of oils, having been back to the same spot with my canvas boards to do the initial drawing out, and to capture some of the exciting colours on the old brick bridge. Both will be completed in the studio in the coming weeks.
