ONE.. of today’s little pencil sketches drawn from my very own Doorstop Dumpy created from my own patterns and ideas….for a glimpse of the cute little green subject – take a look at the link below, you may not have wandered across him on my site before?!

After grabbing my pencils for a little gift swap last week, I am overwhelmed how much I am enjoying the simplest of things once more, just drawing! Today I found myself totally absorbed in three little sketches, not to mention a slowly growing mound of graphite dust and sharpenings LOL 😀 Meet Lenny the Leprechaun, the first of three to be unveiled

‘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.

‘Chipping Campden, Cotswolds’

This little village street scene of Chipping Campden in the Cotswolds can also be seen in my Pen and Ink section. It was done from a photograph taken whilst on a family holiday.  I do like to recreate some of my artwork in different mediums. Whilst, I think, the pencil drawing gives a softer, more romanticised feel to the scene, the pen and ink illustration gives a very crisp no fuss kind of picture. It amazes me how two scenes exactly the same appear so different even when drawn by the same person. It is almost as if the ink illustration conveys matter of factly “I am, what I am” whereas the pencil drawing has more character and depth somehow, even though they are similarly shaded.

(I have included the Pen and Ink drawing below so a comparison of style can be seen together)

‘Green Arms Road – Cows’

This little colourful pen and ink illustration, I have reproduced twice more in just Black and White Ink Sketch, and also as a Pastel Landscape. Whilst in coloured ink it it somewhat vibrant, compared to the pastel version, it is very much toned down as to how I normally paint, much more vividly in inks! (See other Pen and Inks in this section). It is a local scene, and very much exposed to the elements especially the wind, which would probably explain why the cows are all huddling together by the fence.

Below I have also included the Black and white Ink Sketch and the Pastel Landscape version (Found also in Landscapes – as; ‘Green Arms Road – Cows’)

Worcester College Ducks, Oxford University

For those who have browsed my LANDSCAPE SECTION, You may recognise this scene. In Landscapes it was done in soft pastels which gives it a real feeling of softness, This is the preliminary sketch for that artwork. The drawing was done from a photograph taken whilst visiting my Daughter, who was studying for her Master’s Degree at the time. The ducks at Worcester College are considered very important and are contained within the College Emblem.
