Pigeons...

by Alice Savery

Look at all these pigeons I spotted in Barmouth yesterday. All on the railway bridge.

We hadn't parked for long enough for me to sketch them there and then, and so today I drew four from the photographs I took instead.

 I started with black ink - mixing it with water for the initial layer. Later adding colour pencils, white dry pastel, silver ink and charcoal pencil as well as black and grey brush pens.
