Pane's Yard

(full ink painting)

After passing Panes recovery garage a number of times on the way to Malvern show ground I stopped and took a series of photos of the vehicles and yard. These photos sat around for a while until recently when I decided start doing some large ink sketches, this piece is just over 1 meter square. It was great fun as my marks loosened up and I wasn't so precious about what I was doing. This led to a lot of happy accidents and a real learning experience. Due to the scale I started treating the piece more like a painting than a sketch, using washes of indian ink over the fountain pen marks. Enough arty jabber here's an ok photo of the full piece with some close ups.....
