Oversee



Oversee

She was there as a repeated sketch
on a less interesting stage.  
The buildings, the trees, the sea
settled in behind her.
A sort of oblivious world
for her to oversee.  


Sketched her a couple of years ago in a life drawing session. Repeated the sketch yesterday in a different place.
9”x 6” ink and wash

Fountain Pen: Platinum Carbon fine point, felt tip with water base ink and a water brush.

  1. And what a world...oh WOW...not quite apparent, yet tantalising in the extreme!
    Each time I glance away and glance back, I see more of the scene...a legendary realm opening up, a place of castles, cathedrals, and Knights on horseback.
    But the lady herself, well...you have made her every inch the heroine!!😊😊

    1. She was sketched originally in a session in Edinburgh a few years ago. Didn’t have time to come up with the world she was intended to oversee at the time☺
      Thank you.
