I went out for sketchcrawl today. Too bad it was a little brisk (low 40s and windy). I started getting cold after two sketching sessions.
This is an old blacksmith's shop on the grounds of the Littleton Historical Museum (a great place to sketch).
Drawn in a watercolor moleskine with a disposable fountain pen followed by clear water washes with a waterbrush.
This is tagged "urban" because the subject is on a model farm near downtown Littleton.
I've since done a little gouache painting of this scene.
After two years I'm finally sharing these photos of my latest Dark Age creation, a medieval Blacksmith Watermill that specialize on making enchanted weapons. Using the nearby river, the mill mechanism turns the shafts and powers the blacksmith drop-hammer.
It has a vegetable garden and a courtyard as well as a kitchen and smokestack. I built-in Power Functions to light up both the fireplace and the oven, as well as move the water wheel and drop hammer. I have a full video on this MOC on my YouTube channel here - youtu.be/81YqJs8wtBg
I hope you enjoy my creation, and check out the video!
11. THE BLACKSMITH SHOP.
Roger Cooke, a well-known artist from Sandy, Oregon, has recreated a composite of one of the four early day blacksmith shops in Toppenish at the turn of the century. Blacksmith shops were the backbone of the local economy then, repairing wagon wheels, shoeing horses, and manufacturing various metal products.
I took this shot during one of my many adventures with my son to Historic Fort Snelling in St. Paul, MN.
I was fortunate enough to have this photo be published in the book Capture Minnesota Volume 6.
Cambria Iron Works Complex, the Blacksmith Shop is the most historically significant of the structures. Originally owned by the Cambria Iron Company, the Blacksmith Shop produced a wide range of metal products throughout the 19 th and 20 the centuries. With the decline of the steel industry and the closing of Bethlehem Steel Corporation in 1992, the Blacksmith Shop has since been vacant.
The Blacksmith Shop is a large brick structure that was constructed in at least five stages. The original building is octagonal shaped with an octagonal cupola, containing heavy timbered roof trusses with iron tension rods, common-bond red brick walls and pilasters. In the 1870s, a rectangular wing was added to the west elevation and in 1885 another wing was added on the east elevation. It retains a full complement of original turn-of-the-century forging and smiting tools and a variety of steam-powered hammers, including a ten-ton steam hammer owned by the Smithsonian Institute and leased to the Redevelopment Authority .
Picked up recently at a market in Seville, this appears to be a blacksmiths workbook, with annotated photographs. Lots of wrought iron work.

He is an artist of terrific iron.
He is making a huge robot now.
His work overwhelmingly has a sense of existence.
I am his big fan, and I want to take a picture of his and his work in the
future.

"The echo of the forge is everlasting, reverberating through the weapons and armour it births to sing through all time."
Blacksmith set complete! Now to figure out what to do with it.
