New Drawing For You

[DTCwordfan]

Thought that I would share it as not all of you are on my e-mail.

A present for my goddaughter's bro who is marrying a delightful Norfolk gal....they have made me MC for the event. So this plus the invitations is my pressie. First time that I have worked from photos, having gone up there 3 weeks ago to capture the basics. The door will be used as an icon on the race card (order of service) and then the t-you cards will have a b&w photo of them coming down the nave and a miniature of the drawing on the back.

The photo is slightly distorted - blame my photography skills, but the lower aisle's roof does fall away.....after 800 years, things do subside and distort perspective! That's part of the beauty of drawing such old buildings.

Thanks for sharing DT, that is superb. x

Thanks flumpy - it took 20 hours plus , never mind the on-site sketching up east of Norwich....one of my longest drawing, partly because of all the flint! I drew a good friends house near Newmarket and that was the first one with flint (and brick)- bloody awful stone to draw! The finishings on the church are Caen oolitic stone - guess it was easier/cheaper in the 13thC to barge it around from Normandy than overland from the Cotswolds.

If you ever move on to drawing moggies let me know.

I can't even draw a straight line using a ruler.

I live near this building - it is on the site of a monastery.
