Huddersfield Canal, Uppermill

Comments

Lovely drawing of the canal Stephen and for me all the more interesting for the use of Inktense blocks, I have some of the pencil versions and am having quite a bit of fun dabbling with them, they have certainly added some colour to your drawing here

I rather like the effect you have achieved here.

Very nice composition - like the figure in red disappearing into the distance. I think it would make a great painting as long as you kept to the style of this one i.e. undefined and very immediate looking.

Many thanks everyone for your kind remarks.

It would make a good painting = would you maybe carry the shadow from those foreground trees right out into the water?

Well spotted Robert, it looks a bit odd with the shadow ending at the edge of the tow path. I added the shadow, as it was quite a dull day when I took the photo.

A quick sketch with Inktense blocks from a rather dark photo. I originally just used a grey, then added some colour, I think it looked better with the tonal version. I might try to turn it into a painting at some point.
