Thatcham, Berkshire

The Bluecoats School on the A4

Roof line of Thatcham House

Two of the most interesting buildings in Thatcham, sketched quickly in sepia calligraphy ink, black rollerball and with, in the case of the Bluecoats sketch, a Derwent Drawing pencil sky added later.

Predictable Use of Highlighter

These drawings were made on the move - walking, not cycling! - during a short family walk/cycle. They are mainly done (in my current A6 book) using liquid ink rollerball pens; the orange of my son's hi-vis vest was added at home with a highlighter.

The sketch opposite my cycling son is a fairly impressionistic version of the "tree-tunnel" footpath that we were following at one point.
