Model Making

My model of St Peter’s Church spire is taking shape, glue gunned and masking taped together from strips cut from cardboard cartons.

My theory is that making a model will help me understand John Carr’s architecture. I need the model to have a handmade look, so I’m doing the whole thing by eye, working from a line drawing that I made of the church thirty years ago.

These were drawn on my iPad Pro in Clip Studio Paint using the ‘Real G-Pen’, as was the drawing of the sofa below.

The model making was coloured using the lasso fill tool, the sofa and mug using the Rough Wash Watercolour brush.
