The Lion and The Lamb

£25

This sketch was made on location, after an evening dash up to the top of Helm Crag, in Grasmere (6:40pm on the 31st of May 2008, to be precise). A climb to the top became an annual pilgrimage for me, to be undertaken at the end of the first day of my weekend workshop in Grasmere... followed by a pint or two in the Red Lion.

The Lion and the Lamb are names give to the two prominent rocks located at one end of the summit (the large rock at the other end is known as 'The Howitzer').

I'm never happier than when I'm navigating my way around a bunch of rocks with a pencil. The lightly drawn lake you can see just to the right of the larger rock is Grasmere itself, while the hills visible to the left lead up to Fairfield.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

ORIGINAL PENCIL DRAWING
Almost all watercolour paintings produced by Peter Woolley are developed from pencil  sketches made on-site or in the studio. In the course of that development, further working sketches  are often produced in order to explore the subject and work towards a final, satisfactory  composition. This drawing is a unique document; if it has been used in the process of creating a finished watercolour, it may contain marks of handling or even spots of watercolour. Such marks should not considered flaws; instead, they should be thought of as an integral part of the character of the drawing. To protect  its integrity, the artist has signed and dated it on the reverse.

This original drawing has been produced on 160lb smooth, white paper, with a 2B graphite pencil. For drawing dimensions, please see the main information panel above. The price quoted is for the drawing to be supplied to you unframed, in protective packaging with rigid backing panel, ready to take to a framer. A quote for framed work will be provided on request.
