More watercolour studies of the Radcliffe Observatory, Oxford

April 1, 2021.Reading time 1 minute.

In recent posts I’ve been setting out to draw the Radcliffe Observatory in Oxford. This post is an update on that. Here is my previous drawing with the addition of some basic watercolour washes – still very much a ‘study’ or a work in progress. I’ll include here also an example of a bit of […]

The Radcliffe Observatory
