Yesterday I drew a nook in the old church and today I drew a cranny. I was lucky enough to be able to take some photographs in an early 20th century church a couple of weeks ago and I’ve been drawing from them using white conte crayon into my Daler Rowney Ebony sketchbook. It’s pulling me away from my usual reliance on fine, detailed line and into intangibles, atmospheres and emotions. I’m so enjoying it and getting ideas for manier noir drawings and mezzotint etchings. I’ll be doing a lot more of these sketches I think, I’m finding it very stimulating.

Indeed a cranny it is 🙂
Oh yes, but what next? Cracks and cavities?
The mark making is so evocative! Really enjoy today’s effort
Thank you, Judith. I’m forcing myself to go minimalist. There’s such a temptation to start putting in lots of detail but that would detract from the atmosphere.
Restraint can be so difficult when the mark making is so seductive
Phew, I thought we were going to have a nook without a cranny there. You can’t go upsetting the balance like that, Rosie!
Indeed, a nook without a cranny would be unthinkable 😉
