'Along The Lane'

‘Along The Lane’

This Ink drawing, of a local scene, was done from a photograph I took.  It’s a lovely little spot where, whatever the weather, there are always fishermen sitting around the little hidden lodge. Some of you will recognise this scene as it is one I have revisited several times in my art projects using different mediums, for those who haven’t already seen the other versions (one in oil and one in pastel), click the links below;

Pen and Ink – ‘Old Print and Bleachworks Chimney, Edgworth – Sketch in Inks

'Old Calico Works Chimney in Edgworth'

‘Old Calico Works Chimney in Edgworth’

This is another of my coloured pen and ink sketches done from a photograph I took. It was a beautiful autumn day and because of this, I wanted to inject a feeling of that by using warm ink tones in the painting. Though if you compare others in this section, you will see this one is quite ‘toned down‘ to the vivid and vibrant nature of the others. As you can see I took the photograph from a high vantage point looking down and across the valley. The old, now disused chimney, formerly connected to Quarlton Vale Print and Bleachworks, has always looked somewhat out of place, as it just looms up in the middle of a field. Apparently when it was a working mill, further down in the valley, the chimney was connected via a flue for the best air flow to carry emissions away high above the hills. The scenery around Edgworth is very pretty with rolling hills and little stone cottages dotted here and there on the outskirts of the main village.

This is my Ink version of a previous post,  Pencil Drawings – ‘Selly Manor, Bournville’ .  I couldn’t resist drawing this beautiful old building again, and as ever, the two different mediums have their own qualities, I think! More information about ‘Selly Manor’ can also bee viewed on the link above.

‘Turton Tower’

This is my Pen and Ink version of ‘Turton Tower’ done from the photograph I took.  Previously, I  have posted  Pencil Drawing – Turton Tower, Bolton . It really is a beautiful Tudor building. For more information about this historic house; Turton Tower – Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia . I was lucky enough to meet a lovely, elderly lady, who told me many tales of what it was like living there.  Her parents were the caretakers of the estate, some 70 years ago,  when she was a little girl. She considers herself very fortunate to have had such an idyllic childhood, and realises now she is older, just how lucky she was.

Pen and Ink – ‘Snowshill, Cotwold Village – Sketch in Ink

‘Snowshill – Cotswold Village’

Here is another Ink sketch of the beautiful little Cotswold Village of Snowshill.  I have previously shown this scene as a pencil drawing to be found at  Pencil Drawing – Snowshill, Cotswolds – Pencil sketch. Some scenes I really do enjoy drawing over and over in different mediums. On a previous trip to the Cotswolds, we got talking to some local people and asked,  “why you never saw anybody in the village?” Their reply was that, most cottages were now second homes to the ‘Rich City Folk’, who only visited sporadically. They explained this was such a shame because Locals, born and bred, were unable to afford the houses in the village any more, there were no local amenities either because there was no constant demand to support little shops. It was actually quite sad to hear, and witness the almost ghostlike village, which sits around the quaint little church and graveyard. I can see why, if you can afford it, you would want a piece of this lovely village, but it would be even nicer if people lived there full time and enjoyed it properly too!

'Snowshill - Cotswolds'

‘Snowshill – Cotswolds’

This tiny little Cotwold village is a beautiful part of the country to visit. Just a short drive out of the village and you end up via the farm tracks emerging into the most wonderful landscape of rolling fields, which seem to stretch unbroken for miles. When we first discovered this place over 25 years ago it was like driving into a breathtaking dream. At the right time of the year the lavender farms add fabulous colour too! The Ink sketch above is looking over the graveyard to the little stone cottages and to what was obviously once the village post box on the wall of the end house.

Pen and Ink – High Street, Broadway, Cotswolds – Sketch in Ink

High Street, Broadway – Cotswolds

As I’ve previously mentioned I do like to revisit some of my art and rework it in different mediums. The scene above is one of those pictures. Previously posted in Pencil Drawing – ‘High Street, Broadway – Cotswolds’. The Pen and Ink scene above is very crisp and clear, whilst the pencil version offers more depth and character, I think. Broadway is a beautiful little village in the Cotswolds, where we have enjoyed many happy family holidays, when the children were younger!
