Thank you Denise, Jenny and Sarah for your kind comments. Thought it would be recognisable to you, Sarah!!

It was! Really like the composition too - its unusual because there is the 'classic' view from up the hill thst always grabs the attention first.

Marvelous ink sketch of this church, the tower is archaic and reminiscent of Norman period or maybe earlier?

Posted by Angela Harrison on Fri 09 Feb 19:39:07

Thank you Angela. Yes, I agree it is not the classic view, Sarah!!

A brilliant sketch David.

Superb sketch David. Did you use tinted paper or add colour after?

Posted by Tessa Gwynne on Fri 09 Feb 21:00:26

Thank you Spencer and Tessa. I used yellow tinted paper.

Used to live nearby this fabulous church, a great sketch I must say David, the late Rowland Hilder also sketched it.

Posted by Alan Bickley on Fri 09 Feb 21:34:40

Great detail

Great sketch David - really effective piece and the yellow paper was a good choice.

Posted by Andrew Roles on Sat 10 Feb 06:56:39

Beautifully done.

Posted by Paul (Dixie) Dean on Sat 10 Feb 08:41:43

Thank you Alan, Thalia, Andrew and Paul for your kind comments. I must look up Rowland Hilder's sketch, Paul!

I was on the Francis Illes site yesterday and spotted it for sale… I think it was originally for a book illustration! They have a great selection of his work for sale… I’ve got quite a few of his limited edition hand coloured etchings in my collection!

Lovely architectural piece David.

Posted by Carole Swingler on Sat 10 Feb 13:49:04

I found it online, Paul, and it is currently for sale for GBP 1700! Thank you Carole for your kind comment.

Like the warmth of the tinted paper with the red brick walls. Good work
