I recently returned from North Wales where I visited Snowdonia and various other places in the area. I was very much inspired by my trip to to Llanfair Slate Caverns near Harlech. The history of the area is interesting and I enjoyed learning about the working conditions of the miners. The tunnels felt quite atmospheric and I took a number of photos while I was there.
Back in my studio I began to put together some compositions inspired by my visit and have just completed my first drawing. It’s in the new ‘Slate Caverns’ section of my website. This new piece was created using graphitint and pencil which seemed to suit the textures of the rock. More to follow!
