Conisbrough Castle

This has an air of mystery about it Martin and is full of imagined narratives. Great atmospheric work.

A really good sketch Martin. I had not heard of Conisbrough Castle but it looks a very interesting ruin.

That brings back lovely memories of my visit to this English Heritage site a number of years ago! Love how you have dealt with the stonework!
