Yesterday I went back to Brill in western Buckinghamshire for another late lunch and to sit and do a little more sketching. My last post was about sketching the church here- and some of those Brill chimneys. On this trip, in the late afternoon sunshine I did some more house and chimney sketching to complete my earlier drawing- before moving on to sketch another of the old houses lining the High Street – this time the Old Post Office.
Here is my sketch of ‘Brill chimneys 1’ from my last post…

…and here is my sketch continuing this drawing.

Adding these two together I get a drawing like this…

… and here is my simple watercolour version of the above.

Around the corner, The Old Post Office was perhaps a bit more difficult to draw, mostly because of that distinctive kink in the middle. As it was I ended up with something quite ‘sketchy’. Perhaps this is another drawing to return to?
