R.152 13005 and D3035... still needing a bath!
Ed. Mar. 2025 - corrected as these are R.152 not 157 obviously. Apologies. Please don't trust anything I write!
Addendum: just wanted to add about how Fowey had 3 Blackman engined Class 10 look-alikes numbered only slightly differently to these and to all intents and purposes, these will do for me as representatives of 2 of those! Job done! Oh... I may need to weathered them a lot more etc etc.... comments welcome!
Preserved BR/Blackstone Class "10" 350 hp 0-6-0 shunter No.D4092 (never renumbered in "10" series) in BR green at Barrow Hill Roundhouse, 26 September 2015.
I had the real pleasure of teaching this large 10th grade class of 26. With this grade, they are brought out of their polarized thinking, working with Black & White Drawing and Contrast in 9th grade. What a better way to do so than with a limited Dutch palette from the Golden Age and painting Rembrandt's portraits!
We started out with practicing in charcoal, then did a preliminary sketch in pastel of a portrait by Rembrandt of their choice. On 16x20 paper, they painted with the following layers fo colors: yellow ochre, raw sienna, raw umber, black and alizarin crimson. In the end, I spent some time on teaching the class about how to bring out the details of eyes and how to bring the viewer's gaze up to the eye the way Rembrandt may have done with "vision-based techniques" (lost and found edges, center of focus techniques), guiding the viewer's eye through a picture or painting.
