I sketched this one from a photo – well, more correctly a series of photos. You can’t really get back far enough to take it all in one shot. Another complication is that it is only at certain times of day at certain times of the year that it gets the sun, and its nothing without the shadows.
I have sketched a section of it before. One day I will go and sit out there and sketch it in situ. It is highly complicated. I’ve lessened the number of pipes by rather a lot. There is something about it that fascinates me. It is the rear of buildings in King Street, Newtown.
I love this, Wendy! You’ve really captured the look. The lighting is beautiful.
Hope this post means all is well with you, Wendy. I’ve thought of you often.
Love the wash for the foregound; it grounds the buildings beautifully. I love these types of scenes too but admit I get lost in the details.
The backs of buildings, with all the plumbing, are really interesting. Great idea for a sketch.
Nice colours! Makes the ordinary facade looks interesting.
