A new drawing of the Sheldonian Theatre, Oxford

May 8, 2020.Reading time 1 minute.

Lately I’ve been trying to work up a series of drawings of Broad Street in Oxford. Before the Lockdown I had done a series of sketches back in the cold of January and February and hope to turn these into panoramic views of this area in the not-too-distant future. Here is my latest – a […]
