Well, Mr Toast has really challenged us this time, rooftops. As I live in Oxford I had to use the historic buildings, so my drawing shows the old and new. The Radcliffe Camera (built 1737-1749) and the Said Business School (built 2001) and they are also so completely opposite in design.
To get into the spirit of the old and new I drew the Radcliffe Camera with an old fashion dip pen and ink, and the Said Business School with a technical pen. Then put a watercolour wash over them (I am not very good with watercolour!). By the way the Business School tower really is that bright colour!
Thanks Mr T for coming up with this one as I had to study the buildings to ensure that it was a correct representation, rather than just using my imagination. Also I came across a whole lot of gargoyles that I did not know existed.
Why not pop over the Mr T's blog to see what other lovely artists have come up with.
