I started this yesterday and finished it this evening (21st December 2008). I used a Rotring Isograph pen and a Rotring Rapidograph pen and watercolour washes.

It’s wonderful!!!..I really do love how you do the brickwork and stone work ..
the green shrubbery against the browns looks great!

A fine pen and wash, Dave.
And just a hint of the Victorian railway bridge adjoining. Excellent art, and a long-time, familiar subject for me! The stone details are first-rate, and a good sky.
The skirt of shrubbery greens, beats the parked cars and drunks. of reality!
In the reference photo I used there was some shrubbery. There wasn’t a bridge in the background either … only houses … maybe you are thinking of it from another angle.

Very cool Dave; from the small preview it sort of looked like a photo or 3D rendering; nice colors and shading.
Ah, just look how those shadows give form and contrast. You’ve used the various mediums very effectively Dave.
Thanks Brian. I always value your comments. I pay more attention to shadows these days – thanks to your tuition. I keep that tutorial you made for me on shadows.

Ah, yes, I see the rooftiles now. Your perspective is from east side, near dog leap stairs.
