Looking Out From Clare College Memorial Court

Next up is Clare College, and this is a view looking out from Memorial Court through the big archway into it.

Here’s the drawing I did on Saturday:

I think the drawing was a good start. Ā There’s plenty of variety in the thickness of the edges and there,s plenty of over the top detail.

Here are the colours the iPad picked for me:

It’s not the greatest set of colours, with two of them earthy and indigo being full on dark. Ā Here’s wha5 they looked like on cold pressed paper:

The swatch was actually quite encouraging. Ā I thought I might be able to find a good red for the roof, an understated grey for the buildings and a dark neutral for the shadows.

But what did I end up with? Ā Junk again. Ā Part of me wishes I’d been given a bright sunny yellow like transparent yellow instead of raw sienna but there’s another part of me wanting to blame the paper.
