Up close you have been able to put in more of its character than would otherwise have been possible. I like the two distinct styles of arch - makes for an interesting contrast.<br />HilaryHilaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07937719185098075609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2782529108660000163.post-22767759181358717192016-12-03T13:02:03.196+00:002016-12-03T13:02:03.196+00:00Definitely more pastoral than Stockport (I live tw...Definitely more pastoral than Stockport (I live twenty minutes away and your railway is the same line as mine!)<br />I tried to flatten the colour in my piece, a la Scheeler, and it didn't work - now I'm wondering whether adding more detail might salvage my piece.

Originally I didn't want to use it as the scale is too big: the viaduct is so enormous that there is a three-storey mill under part of it. However I couldn't find another suitable fabric.

I also like the way the image has transformed an urban picture into a rural one!

It reflects the strength of the viaduct so well and one can see the amount of thought you have put into the design to reflect, not only the artis's style but how he would have interpretated it. Well done.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2782529108660000163.post-37651667401555461222016-12-01T06:48:43.776+00:002016-12-01T06:48:43.776+00:00I agree with what the others have said.

Some shading, some simple lines. I feel I am looking into nothing. Those inktense pencils & blocks are quite intense and take some getting used to. I have ditched a few bits as well.Phil Fisherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13594941133570473922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2782529108660000163.post-27164702094530139262016-12-01T04:07:11.095+00:002016-12-01T04:07:11.095+00:00Your ability to distill your images to focus on th...Your ability to distill your images to focus on the shape of the viaduct and the transparency of the bridge in the foreground really accentuates lines and shadows.
