100 Artworks Challenge 11/100

This drawing is based on a photograph taken by my daughter, Alice, at Leeds Castle, Kent, U.K. during Easter weekend 2015.  The corridor is modern, plastered; my ‘Castle Walls’ are imaginary but I have essayed to render accurately the figure and the light.

While bemoaning the truth that my drawings take me far too long to produce Galway based talented professional water-colourist Róisín Curé kindly suggested I try drawing against the clock.  This drawing, took me ten minutes to draw and a further twenty to colour.  This is far from high-speed sketching, I know,  but, as far as I am concerned a satisfactory start.  According to Róisín practising 'speed-drawing' also helps to free-up drawing style; mine could do with some of that.
