The Egremont by Greg Ramsden SWAc



Today's drawing a pencil sketch of the Egremont, it's the island sailing clubs training vessel. I'm fascinated with the shape and wieght of this hunk of metal standing at rest, slowly slowly resting and rusting. It's been a long time since I've made a drawing like this with such detail. I now have a better understanding of negative space the rails around the second deck are all made by leaving the white paper and sketching or hatching the negative space in between. I don't think I would've been out to do that or realised to do that sometime ago, so step forward.
