Exercise - A sketchbook of townscape drawings



Up early one Sunday morning, to sketch some of the older buildings at the north end of the high street.  Drawing of the Castle pub,  pavement runs up the wall (building sits partially below the pavement level) on the left hand side of building which appears make the perspective out of kilter with rest of the drawing.

Overcast day no strong cast in tones, darkest areas some of the window panes, and partially obscured door.


Sketch in pencil:





Colour reference:

Brickwork, upper floor,  redder than suggested than the colour used below  some green(moss) on the  roof but too subtle to be of any concern here. Light greyish blue lower floor purposely used dark blue in the sky to make a distinction between the two blues used here.
