And another well developed and detailed sketch it is too Alan.

Lovely - as usual. That splash of watercolour focuses the eye.

Like the detail

Beautifully done Alan .

That splash of watercolour works a treat!

Wonderful Alan and your article, Drawing architecture in TA, very much.

Posted by Denise Cat on Wed 25 Sep 13:31:22

I knew who THAT was as soon as I saw it on the home page - Alan's as recognizable as Rembrandt; in fairness, Rembrandt didn't have access to Rotring Ticky or Tombow brush pens - so any jealousy from that quarter would be inappropriate.

Super picture Alan.

Lovely work Alan, that splash of watercolour as you call it, gives some body to the work

Instantly recognisable as yours Alan, and another gem.

A great sketch and use of colour.

Impressive work, Alan. I also like the look of the texture of your paper

Posted by Carol . on Thu 26 Sep 09:56:48

Wonderful ink work Alan and you mark making is super……I agree, the introduction of colour certainly beefs it up!

Posted by Fiona Phipps on Thu 26 Sep 10:45:51

Really like the Blue and Orange Reds on this- so eye catching Alan.

Well drawn Alan and love the spicy touch of colour

Posted by Martin S Taylor on Fri 27 Sep 08:24:27

Not sure how you got that angle, Alan. I. Used to work around the corner at the Science museum, many years ago, so my memory is always looking up at the doors as I visited daily for lunch. Lovel sketch though.

One of the entrances to the V&A. Stillman & Birn sketchbook with Rotring Ticky and Tombow brush pen. These are a great combination for me, with a splash of watercolour to add that bit of spice!
