Here is an ink drawing which I did of part of the entrance hall at Eltham Palace, near London.
I emphasised the effect of the reflections on the polished wooden walls and flooring for an abstract appearance, and to make it look as if the scene was beginning to collapse in on itself in a sea of ink.
I am currently developing a painting from this drawing, on a large canvas which I helped to make by hand.
I found making the canvas frame and particularly stretching the canvas over the frame extremely difficult.
I did, however, enjoy priming the canvas, which I did with several layers of gesso, sanding each one lightly for an extra-smooth painting surface.
