I think these works are superb. the ability to spot a good image together with the ability to draw that image in detail is spot on. The sheer volume of work is also impressive.
my only question is “When does Peta ever go home?”

These sketches are brilliant, they portray a very intimate reflection of the artists experience of Gravesend during lockdown. The great detail in the sketches and the artists use of historical references, enable the viewer to experience and enjoy every scene just as the artist has through her own eyes!

Great work!

I have two 1st editions of Geoffrey Fletchers books on London. My favourite is ” The London Nobody Knows”…… Whilst I do abhor Plagiarism, I am not sure that I would send it the fate of Prometheus……

What wonderful sketches of Gravesend Peta. It makes me want to visit local places to me to also find such evocative moments in time.

Dear Constance, in reply to your question. I first made a very rough pencil sketch using a 2B pencil. Then I filled in the details using a small Chinese caligraphy brush and Quink blue/black ink (fountain pen ink). Thank you for your nice comments. Peta

I thoroughly enjoyed looking at your sketches and seeing so many much loved or familiar places through new eyes.
