B&W illustration: English village church

 The beauty and history of English churches is fascinating. This black and white pencil illustration was a private commission for a collector – it is one of my favourites as the cut away pencil shading takes the viewer’s eye down the lane way towards the church. Black and white pencil illustrations to emphasise light and shade are so simple and the earliest technique I learnt — but it’s one I can’t shake and one I can’t get out of my system. Nor do I ever want to.
