One Sketch #43) Pierhead Building Cardiff

"It's half past ten."
Says Baby Ben
The sky is blue
My arms are red
My bald patch burning
On my head
My eyes are blinded
Arms are dead
But there's nowt
I'd rather do instead.

I enrolled in the free online course Sketch Revival a couple of weeks ago, and this weekend I've tried to catch up a little on some of the tutorials I missed. In this one I tried to put to use Liz Steel's tip of doing as much sketching with the paintbrush as possible, painting in the blocks of colour, and only using the ink pen later on around window details and the like. This is the result. It's the Pierhead Building in Cardiff. I sketched it in ink in 2016.

The ink sketch is certainly more detailed, but for a sense of place, the painted sketch is better.
