Earlier this year I took a trip out to visit some of the churches around the North Nottinghamshire area to reacquaint myself with traditional architecture and the vernacular. This last year or so much of my work has centred around industrial buildings and helping architects, engineers and contractors to understand ways of putting elements together so it was a pleasure to enjoy the sunshine and take time to enjoy the traditional.
I decided to break out the sepia inks and capture a scene of St Giles church in Holme, I have added these images to our twitter feed but I felt it might be interesting to add them onto a single blog post so the process can be followed.
I use Winsor & Newton drawings and sepia inks to achieve this effect. The tools range from brushes, Roting art pen (with a modified cartridge to allow bottled ink to be used) a Rotring Isograph .18mm technical pen & a traditional dip pen too.
Hope you enjoy the process.
Next stop will be Southwell Minster, traditional architecture on a very different scale!
