‘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!

‘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)
