During a rainy day going around Oxford, I dropped in to the Ashmolean rooftop cafe – to have a cup of tea and take the opportunity to do some sketching. With the rain coming down outside, I did some more drawing to add to a previously started sketch, so at least I could do this in comfort.
Here is a view from the cafe looking out towards the rooftops of the Randolph Hotel - and below my sketch in progress.
Back at home, I did a little more work; scanning these two A3 sketches, pasting them together and then adding some more colour. Here is the result so far:
Later I thought I’d try another more linear approach – and here is the result from that. It is probably the simpler of the two drawings but both still need some work.
For those of you that are interested, this isn’t the first time I’ve drawn the Randolph Hotel. For more, here are a couple of links to previous posts:
