Here is a view of the rear of the house, a much more interesting aspect.
Trerice is described as an Elizabethan manor house, built around 1572 and for many years owned by the Arundel family, now in the hands of The National Trust.
This picture is from my own photograph using various pens and ink with graphite shading. A4. I am open for commissions.
Back in May I was lucky to go on a week’s watercolour course with Paul Clark and Margot Lofts. More details can be found on my other blog, kimsplash.wordpress.com, where much of the classwork is displayed.
For this blog I thought this wonky lamppost was an appropriate subject. I hadn’t used pen and ink on the course, but when I got home I had to give it a go. I had made a sketch on this lamp at the hotel, before I left and once home with my new Narwhal fountain pen and Carbon ink it just had to be done! I’m pleased with the result.
The commissioner requested her current dog and her previous, late, pooch be drawn in the same frame. As I usually draw architecture, this was quite a challenge.
I would normally use either fineliner pens or dip pen and ink with a mapping nib. This time I tried out my new Narwhal fountain pen and Cobalt black ink, and I’m pleased with the result.
Contact me if you have a commission you’d like to discuss.
