Stilt walking woman.
Watercolour wash and ink drawing on paper. 2025.
On show in Wells Cathedral at the Wells Art Contemporary exhibition, 8th October – 1st November 2025.
A pen and ink drawing of a woman walking on stilts that have wheels to help them to move along. The woman seems to be walking in the air for some reason. I’m not quite sure how the does it.
The pen and ink drawing is done on a sheet of paper to which a watercolour wash has been applied. The wash was applied in several layers, the first of which was composed of Daniel Smith Lunar Black watercolour which was specifically chosen because it can create pronounced granulation effects, as shown in the images below.
