This journey was taken by me every day to work and was from Nelson Station to Rosegrove. From there it was quick march to Burnley Grammar School.

Brierfield During Motorway Construction
More from my sketch books. Here are three double-pages in pencil and water colour, showing Brierfield, Lancashire with the M65 motorway under construction. They were all drawn and painted on the site – I was sitting in a field reached from Cuckstool Lane.

Watercolour Drawing
I posted this picture on my Facebook page and was asked about the technique I’d used for watercolour “drawing”. Well, a good sable brush helps: it’s easier to draw with a brush than a pen as there is less resistance from the paper. Another tip: if you are drawing plants it is best to make upward strokes as that is the way a plant grows, and use a full brush.
