OLD TAVERN AT AMBION PARVA

OLD TAVERN AT AMBION PARVA
This old building is no longer there. It was too expensive to renovate and it became unsafe so had to be pulled down. It was in a separate 'village' used for medieaval weekends at Bosworth Visitor Centre at the sight of the Battle Of Bosworth. It is a shame that it is gone

"The Water of Life" by Steven Broadbent

located  in the garden of Chester Cathederal in Chester , UK.  this was a selection is the weekend drawing event.
I took a minimalistic approach on color, I really  loved the statue and wanted to enhance it.

Down on the Forest Floor

This is far too busy I think, but it is the next page in my book.  I poured on some permanent rose, quin gold and antwerp blue, let it dry then inkied in the forest floor, (photo ref by mginsberg from wetcanvas) I added more color, but could not retrieve the whites of the paper (it is only 90 lb after all) so touched it up with gouache, something I never do.

This is an old flour mill building on the bank of the Cass River in the German settlement of Frankenmuth, Michigan. It is now used as a coffee shop and beanery. Frankenmuth was established in 1845. This photo is about 12 years old. It was originally called "Nickless-Hubinger Flour Mill". Bill (SceneChaser) from wetcanvas.
this was painted for a ink and wash challenge
