Edgworth over to St. Annes Church, Chapeltown.

This is a simple black and white pen illustration of a local countryside scene. Previously I have posted a pastel version of this same scene done in autumn colours  Landscape – ‘Edgworth over to St. Anne’s – Soft Pastel Landscape

‘From Affetside to Winterhill’ – Pastel Version
200th post on my blog since 2nd Jan 2013!!!

THANK YOU firstly,  ALL my Viewers, Followers and Commenters. It has been a hectic couple of months to get my site this far, and I really appreciate your support 🙂 . I wanted this post to be one of my favourite pieces of art, to mark my 200th post since I started on this site in January. This local scene is from the little village at the top of the hill, Affetside, overlooking the highest, I believe, hill in Bolton, Where the television and other transmitting masts are located. Affetside, in Bolton, is the only place in the UK with this name, it literally translates as ‘boundary on the hill’ – in other words, half on this side and half the other side. The main road running through Affetside is part of the Roman Road, ‘Watling Street’. For more info on Affetside’s history;  History Affetside . Back to the art! This Pastel drawing was done after taking some photographs on a beautiful crisp clear autumn day. The colours on the land were amazing, everything seemed so much clearer and nearer than it actually is. I really wanted to capture the hues of the grasses, as they had turned with the long dry spell. Pastels seemed the perfect medium! To make this post even more special, I have also included my Pen and Ink ‘From Affetside to Winterhill’  below, which at present, has pride of place in my front living room. (Another post after this, I will be placing the Pen and ink in its own section of my headings linking back to this one.) Hope you enjoy them.

THANK YOU AGAIN EVERYONE!

Previously in Pen and Ink I featured a simple black and white sketch of the scene above. Wanting to take the illustration further I redid the scene coloured with vibrant inks. I was rather pleased with the result!

Footsteps in the sand

After “collaging” different sketches together to make this seascape scene, I decided instead of leaving it black and white, to play around again with my coloured inks. I was very pleased with the result, especially the almost translucency of the sea from building up layers of ink.
