This week's EWW subject was to paint our favourite building.  I have never been to La Sagrada Familia but would love to, it is on my list of favourite buildings to see one day.  Being in an experimental mood I did a few things with this painting that I have never done before.  1. add some 'hidden' raised shapes. 2. use a different support instead of watercolour paper.  Having seen some famous artists who have their experiments on cardboard in museums, I thought why not? 

I have other experimental plans up my sleeve.

Ely Cathedral High Altar

50 x 20 cm Hahnemuhle Paper

Ink

 

This is a tiny portion of the most intricate and beautiful High Altar of Ely Cathedral.

This marathon drawing has taken me 16 hours!  I have tried really hard not to draw in pencil first because I hate rubbing out and the effect it has on the paper.  Pondering whether to add watercolour.  Meanwhile, I have to make a start on something else new.
