Fountains Abbey, Easter 2019 (WiP 6)
A short time spent adding some texture to the foreground. In th course of doing this I discovered a small watercourse which I had thought was a shadow from the tree by the pathway I was standing on. It makes more sense of the stonework on the right hand edge of the drawing. These ruins belong to the abbey infirmary complex which was built over several water channels which took the River Skell through latrines and kitchens. It was a tremendous engineering achievement in the early middle ages. Drawn with a Staedtler 0.3mm pencil and Tombow Mono zero eraser in an A4 cartridge paper sketchpad.
